Summary

This study tested whether eating only during a 10-hour window each day (and fasting for 14 hours) while choosing foods that are less calorie-dense can improve insulin resistance and reduce body weight. Forty older adults with obesity and insulin resistance participated. Researchers compared two groups: one followed the time-restricted eating plan with a low-calorie-density diet, and the other followed time-restricted eating with their usual diet. The goal was to see if the low-calorie-density approach leads to better health outcomes.
