Time restricted eating is an eating pattern where you intentionally cycle between periods of eating and not eating. In other words, you will eat during specific hours of the day and outside of this period, you will fast. Cycling between fasting and eating can help you lose weight, while also providing flexibility and saving you time (and even a little money while you’re at it).

Many of us struggle with our weight, and although people with type 2 diabetes are often encouraged by their health provider to lose weight, it can seem daunting.

It’s especially frustrating when you’ve changed your diet and started moving more, but you still don’t see the results you want. Don’t blame yourself and keep trying to work toward your goals (you can do this!) but also consider one common culprit of weight gain that has nothing to do with nutrition and exercise: Diabetes medications.
