India, Sept. 27 -- A Johns Hopkins Medicine study reports evidence that time-restricted eating (TRE) - a form of intermittent fasting that involves only eating during a consistent, daily 8- to 10-hour window - can cause modest weight loss in adults with both obesity and prediabetes or those with diet-controlled type 2 diabetes.

The National Institutes of Health and American Heart Association-supported study, described July 27 in the journal Obesity, represents the latest findings from ongoing research led by Daisy Duan, M.D., an assistant professor of medicine and the study's primary author, on how time-restricted eating without caloric restriction may change the body's weight and other functions.
