Snacking during bedtime has become a bad habit for many of us and it seems that burning calories continues to be a struggle. The results of this new study by researchers at the Salk Institute published in Cell Metabolism, suggests that it’s not only what we consume but when we eat it that matters the most (Salk Institute 2014).

2. Can I eat a high-fat diet and still lose
weight?
• Losing weight without counting your calories may seem unusual, but
according to researchers at Salk Institute, a simple 12-hour eating period could
be the key to weight loss. Snacking during bedtime has become a bad habit for
many of us and it seems that burning calories continues to be a struggle. The
results of this new study by researchers at the Salk Institute published in Cell
Metabolism, suggests that it’s not only what we consume but when we eat it
that matters the most (Salk Institute 2014).
• Back in 2012, Satchidananda Panda, a Salk associate professor,
demonstrated that mice which were fed a high-fat diet, but granted access to
that diet for just 8 hours per day, were healthier and smaller than mice given
access to the exact same food for the entire day, although the two groups
consumed the same amount of calories. This new study demonstrates that the
benefits of time limitation is shockingly more important than initially thought
and can reverse diabetes and obesity (Salk Institute 2014).

3. Time Restriction is Key to Weight Loss
• In these days, most of the advice about how to lose weight involves nutrition or
changing your diet. But what if you don’t have access to a healthy diet? Panda and his
researchers sought out to find how forgiving time-restricted feeding was so he and his
group subjected approximately 400 mice to a variety of diets and lengths of time
restrictions (Salk Institute 2014). They discovered that the benefits of time-restricted
feeding showed up regardless of the weight of the mouse, type of diet and length of the
time restriction. The mice were given time limitations of 9 to 12 hours-and ate the same
amount of daily calories as their unrestricted counterparts- gained less weight than the
controlled subjects regardless of whether their diets were high in fat (Salk Institute).
• This study basically shows that you can consume a high fat diet as long as you limit
yourself to when you eat and still lose weight. Time-restriction seems to be the key
in this study because the amount of calories and the type of diet didn’t make any
difference. I believe that when you give your body time to disgust and break down
the food, it has a positive effect on your metabolism which in turn helps you burn
more calories. Eating a high fat diet between a 9 to 12-hour-window doesn’t seem
difficult at all because many of us are busy working long hours to begin with.

4. Obesity can be conquered with time-restricted
diets as well
• One of the most important facts is that the mice that were already
obese by eating a freely available high-fat diet, lost weight by 5
percent within a few days, when researchers restricted their food
access to a 9-hour window. Eating this way stopped the mice from
gaining more weight (by nearly 25% by the end of a 38-week study)
compared to the group kept on the freely available high-fat diet.
This study by Panda and his researchers is a great set-up experiment
for future research on the causes of diabetes, says Panda. The next
step is to investigate the effects of time-restricted diets in humans.
Until next time, take care and God bless!
