Intermittent Fasting Promotes Weight Loss, Improves Lipids

Limiting food consumption to a 10-hour window each day promotes weight loss and improves cardiometabolic abnormalities in women with metabolic syndrome, a small pilot study suggests.
“There has been a lot of discussion about intermittent fasting and what time window people should eat within to get the benefits of this kind of diet,” co-corresponding author Satchidananda Panda, PhD, said in a statement.
“Based on what we’ve observed in mice, a 10-hour time window seems to convey these benefits. At the same time, it’s not so restrictive that people can’t follow it long-term,” added Panda, of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, CaliforniaPanda is the author of the book The Circadian Code and collects royalties.
The study was published online December 5 in Cell Metabolism by Michael J. Wilkinson, MD, of the University of California, San Diego, and colleagues.
Because most of the women were taking a statin, antihypertensive medications, or both at study entry, “the observed benefits of time-restricted eating were additive to the effects of these medications…and in this population at high risk for cardiovascular disease, a significant reduction in atherogenic lipids, blood pressure, and blood glucose on top of medical therapy has important clinical implications,” say the investigators.
“The high level of adherence to time-restricted eating in our study, no reported adverse effects, and low dropout rate suggest that a self-selected 10-hour window for time-restricted eating may be feasible for patients with metabolic syndrome to adhere to over a longer period of time,” the investigators conclude.
