Clinical Trial Summary

Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a dietary approach that aims to increase fasting time and decrease the eating window. Promising TRE effects on weight loss and some cardiometabolic risk factors have been reported. However, there is a lack of randomized clinical trials that directly investigate the effect of TRE at different times of the day (early vs. delayed) in individuals with overweight and obesity. The present study investigates the effects of 8 weeks of TRE performed at different moments of the day on body composition and cardiometabolic parameters in adults with overweight and obesity.
