Can timing your carbs tame metabolic risk?

This study tests whether restricting carbohydrates on two consecutive days per week or after 4pm each day can improve metabolic health and energy balance in adults with abdominal overweight or obesity. Over four weeks, participants follow one of these eating patterns or their usual diet, with monitoring of diet, activity, and glucose via wearables. Researchers will measure changes in blood fats, body composition, and other markers to see if these intermittent carb-restriction strategies could help reduce the risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
