Summary

Time restricted feeding (TRF) has been emerging as a potential weight loss strategy that avoids major dietary changes but achieves strong effects. It also improves insulin sensitivity through increased human growth hormone. This effect helps to improve the root cause of weight gain and has additional benefits for women with PCOS.
