US based doctor shares importance of vitamin D and foods.
Diabetes Management is essential but controlling blood sugar levels is not just about cutting sugars.
The Economic Times
His quote, explained
When you start eating along with the insulin cycle and stop eating after sunset, miracles will happen — including your weight loss,” he says, using “bank hours” to explain insulin’s daytime work.
The Economic Times
Start with your “eating window”
Note first and last bite today, even coffee and late snacks; if it’s 14–15 hours, bring it to 12 hours next week, then nudge toward 10–8 hours over time, not overnight.
The Economic Times
Why earlier dinner helps
Insulin sensitivity is higher earlier, and night eating pushes calories toward storage; a longer overnight fast also supports sleep quality and gut repair processes, boosting consistency and mood.
The Economic Times
What not to do
Don’t crash into an 8‑hour window on day one, don’t skip breakfast if it triggers overeating later, and don’t trade dinner for late‑night desserts that break the fast.
The Economic Times
Who should be cautious
People with diabetes on insulin or sulfonylureas, those pregnant or breastfeeding, or with a history of eating disorders should seek medical guidance and personalize timing and targets.
The Economic Times
The core idea
Eating when the body expects food (daylight) and resting the gut at night can improve metabolic health; Dr. Pal, in his youtube videos, frames it as aligning meals to circadian clocks, not extreme fasting.
