TOPLINE:
Time-restricted eating (TRE) doesn’t significantly reduce visceral adipose tissue (VAT) but leads to significant reductions in body weight compared with usual care in adults with overweight or obesity.
METHODOLOGY:
- Although previous studies suggest that TRE may lead to modest weight loss and improvements in cardiometabolic health, the optimal timing of the eating window in TRE and its impact on VAT remains unclear.
- To examine the effects of different TRE schedules on VAT and cardiometabolic health, researchers conducted a 12-week multicenter randomized clinical trial in Spain in adults with overweight or obesity (body mass index ≥ 25 and
- Participants were randomly assigned into four groups: Usual care, early TRE, late TRE, and self-selected TRE.
- The usual care group maintained their eating schedule and…
