JAKARTA - In losing weight, there are many diet methods that can be done. One of them is time-restricted eating or time-restricted eating patterns that are now increasingly becoming a trend.
Time-restricted eating is actually the same as the intermittent fasting diet method. This eating pattern limits all food intake (calories) into a certain time window in a day (eg 6-10 hours) and fasts in the remaining hours.
The focus of this method is on when to eat, not what to eat. This is aimed at losing weight and improving metabolic health.
However, nutritionist Audra Wilson warns that not everyone is suitable for time-restricted eating methods, which include strict diets.
According to Audra, the diet must be adjusted to the person's condition, including physical activity, diet goals, to special needs such as postpartum. He also said that a good diet is recommended that can be applied for life.
"There is no one formula that applies to everyone. The best diet is the one that can last a lifetime, not just for the short term," said Wilson, quoted from Northwestern Medicine, on Wednesday, December 17, 2025.
Meanwhile, in regulating a good meal time for a diet is not easy. Busy often becomes the main reason for someone to eat in a hurry or even skip meals.
In fact, eating in a hurry makes the digestive system work less optimally and satiety becomes less controlled. It is recommended to take the time to sit down and focus while eating, enjoy the taste, aroma, and texture of the food.
If the daily schedule is not fixed, the best solution is to provide healthy snacks in vehicles, bags, or workplaces. Planning meal times for a good diet has been shown to help balance nutrient intake throughout the day and prevent extreme hunger, which often leads to overeating.
