Provisional grade. This entry carries a baseline score generated from the standard framework but not yet confirmed by rater review. The dimensions, the citations behind them, and the grade may all move.

What the evidence shows

Time-restricted eating changes when you eat rather than what. Randomised trials show modest metabolic changes, but most run for weeks rather than years, and several find the benefit tracks total calorie reduction rather than the timing itself. Like all dietary trials, these cannot be blinded, which limits how confidently any effect can be attributed to the protocol.
