I think it's called Intermittent fasting with an 8hour food window. You can find lots of links, but the idea is to restrict the calories a bit within the 8h window if you want to lose weight. If you eat much more than your calory intake, you will gain weight. Intermittent fasting is believed to burn the fat within the 16hour fasting window, as the body would enter a ketosis stage. There are various forms of this intermittent fasting, but this daily one seems the most popular.
