Summary

This study looks at whether eating only during an 8-hour window each day (16-hour fast) can help women going through menopause—either naturally or after breast cancer treatment—lose weight, reduce belly fat, and ease menopause symptoms. 84 women will be randomly assigned to either the fasting plan or their usual eating habits for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if this simple diet change improves body composition, metabolic health, and quality of life.
