Skinny Mice Eat Only 9 to 5
Eating only
within an eight-hour window each day could help you shed weight, a study has
found.

Limiting
the times you eat could reverse obesity and reduce the risk of developing type
2 diabetes. And it doesn’t even matter whether you have fatty or sugary foods.
The eight-hour limit seems to undo the harm done by an unhealthy diet.
Researchers
believe that sticking to strict meal times allows the body to predict when it
will eat – meaning it is better prepared to burn calories.
Mice
fed a high-fat diet within an eight hour time frame – for example between 9am
and 5pm – were both healthier and slimmer than those given the same number of
calories throughout the whole day.
Even
when obese mice had their eating window reduced to nine hours, they were able
to drop five percent of their body weight within a few days – while still
enjoying the same amount of calories.
The
research was carried out at the Salk Institute in California.

My
thought: should mice that eat brown fat be restricted to the 9-5
diet?
