Can seniors stick to a diet? new study puts calorie cutting to the test

This study looked at whether older adults who need to lose weight can follow either a reduced-calorie diet or a time-restricted eating plan (eating only within an 8.5-hour window each day) for 9 months. About 90 people took part, and researchers measured how well they stuck to the diet, how many stayed in the study, and changes in body weight and composition. The goal was to see if these approaches are practical for older adults, not to prove health benefits.
