"With a rise in metabolic disorders such as diabetes, we wanted to expand our understanding of nutritional strategies to aid in addressing this growing concern," Ali told fellow researchers.
Presenting at the virtual Endocrine Society's annual meeting, Dr Ali elaborated on her findings.
Analyzing data from 10,575 adults, participants were grouped into one of three groups depending on total duration of food intake.
Total duration of food intake groups:
Less than 10 hours;
10–13 hours;
More than 13 hours.
Ali and her research team based their grouping decision on prior knowledge.
Numerous studies had already shown that time-restricted eating led to an improvement in metabolic health.
To put their own spin on the research, Ali and her team further divided the groups into six subgroups based on what time people started eating in the day.
Those who ate before 8.30am had lower insulin resistance, no matter how many hours they ate throughout the day.
"These findings suggest that timing is more strongly associated with metabolic measures than duration, and support early eating strategies," Ali said.

Consistently high blood sugar is associated with heart disease.
Heart disease is a strong indicator that you're at risk of a heart attack.
