...lower cholesterol by eating 10 hours a day

Research published in the journal Cell Metabolism on Thursday suggests that eating only during a 10-hour window every day (for example, 8 am to 6 pm, or 10 am to 8 pm) is ideal for overall health. This is slightly less time than the typical 14 to 15 hour spread that people tend to spend eating throughout the day.

"We thought a 10-hour eating window was very doable for most people," lead study author and UC San Diego cardiologist Pam Taub told Insider. "And the results are pretty amazing, in terms of reduction in weight, reduction in bad cholesterol, reduction in blood pressure."

"We didn't specifically ask anyone to restrict their calories," Taub said. "We just told them to restrict their eating window. And one of the nice things is people - inadvertently without even meaning to - do reduce their calories by a little bit."



I guess this works by having people "eat normally" during the 10 hour window, but not snack in the evening.
