Summary

This completed study looked at how three different diet plans—Mediterranean diet, time-restricted feeding (a form of intermittent fasting), and a standard diet—affect eating behavior and weight management in 75 overweight or obese adults aged 20-49. Researchers measured body composition, diet satisfaction, and eating habits to find the most effective approach for long-term weight control.
