Episode notes
Moving Calories Earlier Improves Metabolism
- Shifting calorie intake earlier in the day improves metabolic health even with equal total calories.
- The TRIM study showed better insulin sensitivity and small additional weight loss when most calories occurred before 1 p.m.
Prioritize Breakfast And Lunch Calories
- Concentrate most calories earlier: big breakfast and lunch, smaller dinner.
- Aim to consume roughly two-thirds of daily calories before mid-afternoon.
Time Restriction Lowers Inflammation
- Time-restricted eating reduces inflammation and oxidative stress and increases autophagy and AMPK activity.
- These biological effects support longevity and lower systemic inflammation.
