Stuck at a certain weight and want to lose more? Or are you trying to push the envelope on longevity? Try time-restricted eating, a type of intermittent fasting.

If you’ve reached a weight plateau but need to lose more weight, restricting your eating window can help you achieve your health and weight loss goals. And here’s some great news: Even if you are at a healthy weight and follow a Nutritarian diet, the practice of time-restricted eating still offers amazing health benefits.

Why it Works

Time-restricted eating (and other types of intermittent fasting) is gaining popularity both as a weight loss aid and healthy living practice. Research shows that this practice helps to optimize the body’s self-repair mechanisms, and also reduces growth-related signals by improving insulin sensitivity and inflammation. In addition, advocates report that this strategy has helped them to lose weight with ease.
