The New York Times recently reported on a recent 38-week study out of the journal Cell Metabolism analyzing the effect different eating schedules had on the health of male mice. Half of the mice were allowed to eat whenever they wanted, while the other half only had access to food during a restricted period of time. At the end of the 38 weeks, the mice that were allowed to eat during all hours of the day became obese and suffered with metabolic dysfunctions. The mice that were restricted to eating within a specific time window remained thin and healthy.
