Summary
This study looks at whether time-restricted eating (a form of intermittent fasting) is a practical way for veterans with spinal cord injury and obesity to lose weight. Fifteen veterans with paraplegia will try eating all their daily calories within a set window of time for 6 weeks. The goal is to see if they can stick with the plan and gather information for a larger future study.
