Summary

In the modern era, food access is widely available and it is not uncommon for the time between breakfast and a late night snack to exceed 14 hours. The investigators are interested in studying whether limiting this window to 8 hours will have any beneficial effects of human health as has been demonstrated in animal models. Eight men were asked to restrict their energy intake window to between 8 am and 4 pm for two weeks whilst maintaining their habitual diet (quantity and composition). Improvements in skeletal muscle and whole-body insulin sensitivity were observed but these were potentially confounded by an average weight loss of 1 kg. Therefore an additional control group was recruited to follow a daily caloric deficit of \~400 kilocalories without changing the timing of intake.
