This is gaining popularity as "intermittent fasting." No, the proper term for this is "time-restricted feeding".

- Bartweiss 7y agoThanks for pointing out the distinction here. Regardless of how we define each term, there's a notable difference between normal eating within constrained hours and unsustainable/varied patterns between days. The "metabolic switch" rationales for periodic/daily fasting don't apply to time-restricted eating, nor do some of the insulin/glucose theories, but the circadian ones work for both.
