Paper: The effects of early time restricted eating plus daily caloric restriction compared to daily caloric restriction alone on continuous glucose levels

Quotable moments:

"Maintaining a stable blood glucose level is critical for your heart and vascular system. It prevents nerve damage, vision problems, and chronically elevated blood sugar can negatively impact brain function, crush your energy levels, and make you really moody." - Dr. Erik Korem

"When the researchers analyzed the data, they found there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of changes in average glucose levels, glucose variability, or insulin sensitivity over 12 weeks." - Dr. Erik Korem

"If you need to lose weight, start with a calorie deficit. And then if eating in a condensed timeframe helps you control your appetite, helps you put some guardrails up, or helps with not having low HRV at night and having an elevated heart rate, then do it." - Dr. Erik Korem
