Time-Restricted Eating

Time-Restricted Eating (TRE) is an eating pattern that limits food intake to a specific window of time each day, typically 8-12 hours, and fasting outside that window. This approach aligns eating with the body's natural circadian rhythms, potentially improving metabolic health, weight management, and energy levels. During the fasting period, only non-caloric beverages like water or tea are usually consumed. TRE does not specify what foods to eat, but rather when to eat, making it a flexible approach to health that emphasizes timing over calorie restriction.
