TRF stands for 'time restricted feeding'. The diet is sometimes called the TRE (time restricted eating) diet. TRF is about when you eat, not what you eat.

The TRF diet is a variant of intermittent fasting. You eat during a certain time window of the day (think of a period of between 8 and 12 hours). The rest of the day you fast (so you eat nothing at all).
If you choose to fast for 10 hours a day, for example, that leaves a 14-hour time window for eating.
When fasting you do drink, but only drinks that contain no or very few calories (think of water, tea and coffee). During the time window in which you eat, you can drink anything you like.

As mentioned before, the TRF diet only restricts the time you eat, not what and how much you eat.
