Interventions

  • Standard of Care — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants in this arm will receive nutritional counseling from the study dietician but will not be required to adopt a 10-hr eating window.
  • Time Restricted Eating — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants in this arm will adhere to a daily, consistent self-selected 10-hr eating window for the course of the study intervention period as well as receive nutritional counseling from the study dietitian.

Study Details

In a randomized controlled trial, the investigators intend to measure the health impact of time-restricted eating (TRE) in obese patients (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2), who habitually eat for more than 14 hours every day. Patients will be randomly assigned to a control group of behavioral nutritional counseling (standard of care) or the intervention group of behavioral nutrition counseling with the addition of adopting a 10-hour eating window for 12 weeks (TRE).
