Intermittent fasting window only needs to be 14 hours for better health – study – Newshub

Kiwi clinical nutritionist Cliff Harvey joined the AM show on Friday to discuss the study, saying it's "another piece of evidence that fasting works".

"What's interesting about this study is it's about moderate restriction - it sounds like a lot of time not to eat, but for a lot of people it's just about switching their feeding versus fasting window," he explained. "It's about starting eating at eight, and finishing at six - it's not that big a restriction."

Harvey says most of us naturally fast from dinner to breakfast anyway, so a small increase in that fasting window is leading to "prodigious benefits".

"Just by restricting how long we have to eat it seems we don't overcompensate - so if you fast for a little bit longer you actually don't make up for it by binging, even if you think that you are."

"This is why it's a good strategy for people - it basically helps you autoregulate. You don't mean to eat less, but because you've got a shorter eating window you end up doing it."

So if you're thinking about giving intermittent fasting a go, ease into it with a 10-hour eating window. It means you can have breakfast at 9am and finish dinner before 7pm, which actually isn't too hard - you just have to give up the midnight snacks.
