Summary
This study tests whether limiting food intake to a 10-hour window each day helps obese adults lose weight and improve body composition. Sixty-one participants will either follow this eating pattern plus nutritional counseling, or just receive counseling alone. The goal is to see if time-restricted eating is a practical, effective tool for weight management.
