Summary

This study tests whether a 16:8 time-restricted eating diet (eating only during an 8-hour window each day) helps people with obesity manage their weight, both those who have had bariatric surgery and those who haven't. Researchers will measure changes in body weight, fat mass, and eating habits over 6 weeks. The goal is to see if this simple eating pattern can improve weight control, especially for those who experience weight regain after surgery.
