That's really it. The point is that people 'graze' to maintain blood sucrose levels and avoid the problems associated with high carb diets. Were your energy levels 'dive' between meals. Because of this Americans tend to have 8-10 "meals" (ie: including snacks) a day. If this is normal for you: A hour or two after lunch you get distracted and tired at work so you go up to the vending machine or office kitchen and get a snack. Grab a soda, get some chips, etc to keep yourself awake and focused. Then that is the problem here we are trying to solve. So by having time-constrained eating habits this eliminates this for most of the day except for the time period we have designated for eating. Which means that time controlled eating is a behavior/metabolic "hack" to reduce overall calorie consumption. This way you get conditioned to only wanting to 'graze' during a specific time period. If you force the study participants to control for calorie input then you are accomplishing the same thing we attempt to do with time constrained eating, just in a different way.
