When it comes to intermittent fasting, especially 16: 8 diets, where you have a 16 -hour fasting window and 8 hours of dining window, your food time can affect your metabolic health. A neurologist from Hyderabad, Dr. Sudhir Kumar suggests that dinner skipping (between 8 am and 4 pm) can provide more metabolic benefits, which can provide more metabolic benefits than leaving breakfast (food between 12 noon and 8 pm).

Dr. Kumar shared his work on fast on X on 12 September. He said: “Which of the two-eating windows should practice 16: 8 intermittent fasting (16-hour fast, and 8-hour dining window) for one of the food windows?
Benefits of first eating (8 AM-4 PM)
Listing the benefits of first food (8 AM-4 PM dining window), Dr. Kumar said:
1. Glycemic control with better insulin sensitivity/ first eating windows.
2. Low fasting glucose in some studies for eTre (early time-related food).
3. Overweight and fat loss in some tests.
4. Better effects on diastolic blood pressure in some studies with earlier windows.
5. Other metabolic markers (inflammation, microbiome variety, etc.) improve more on eating early instead of eating late.
He also highlighted that ‘the data does not clearly show (or where the results are mixed), and shared:
1. All studies do not find major differences between early vs. later windows. Sometimes weight is reduced.
2. The effects on lipids (cholesterol, LDL etc.) are more inconsistent.
3. Long -term adherence, fats vs. lean mass effects, quality of life, and how chronotypes (morning person vs. evening) interact, require more research.
So Dr. What does Kumar suggest?
Dr. Kumar said, “Based on the current evidence, if someone has to choose an 8-hour-eating window, then quit dinner (ie eating first during the day, for example ~ from 8 am to 4 pm) provides some more metabolic benefits than leaving breakfast or later eating (eg to 12 noon).”
What else should you think here:
1. “Personal lifestyle and chronotype matter. If there is a night owl or late social or work responsibility in the evening, it can be difficult to maintain the earlier windows,” Dr. Kumar said.
2. “Nutrient’s quality, total calories, and macronutrient balance still matters a lot,” he said.
3. “Health status cases: People with certain conditions (such as diabetes, shift work, etc.) can give different reactions, and clinical trials often exclude them,” Dr. Kumar concluded.
