Intermittent fasting (IF) and time-restricted eating (TRE) have gained significant attention as potential strategies for weight loss and improving metabolic health. These dietary patterns involve cycling between periods of eating and fasting, with TRE specifically limiting the eating window to a certain number of hours each day. This synthesis aims to analyze the safety and long-term health effects of these dietary interventions based on current research.

Potential Side Effects and Risks
Intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating show promise for weight loss, improving metabolic health, and potentially extending healthy lifespan. These dietary patterns can offer cardiovascular benefits, improve insulin sensitivity, and activate beneficial biological pathways. However, long-term adherence and potential side effects remain areas requiring further research. Overall, IF and TRE could be valuable tools in the dietary intervention toolkit, but more extensive studies are needed to confirm their long-term safety and efficacy.
