Last Meal Timing Protocols

Meaning

Structured, time-restricted eating regimens that specifically define and enforce a precise, earlier cutoff time for the final caloric intake of the day, typically requiring a fasting window of several hours before the habitual bedtime. These protocols are clinically implemented to optimize the alignment of the body’s circadian rhythm with nutrient metabolism, enhance metabolic flexibility, and extend the essential overnight fasting duration. The primary objective is to synchronize the feeding window with the body’s natural diurnal metabolic cycles, which is critical for improved glucose regulation and the activation of cellular repair processes.
