A study conducted at an American university hospital has found that restricting eating to between the hours of 7am and 3pm may help to increase weight loss and lower blood pressure.
The Weight Loss Medicine Clinic at the University of Alabama conducted the study of 90 obese adults between the ages of 25 and 75 over a two-year period.
The trial found that those who stopped eating after 3pm lost about 5 pounds (2.3kg) more than those who ate throughout the day.
