Summary

This study looks at whether eating only during certain hours of the day (time-restricted eating) helps adults with obesity lose weight and improve health. About 162 participants will be assigned to eat early in the day, late in the day, or simply reduce daily calories for one year. Researchers will track weight, body fat, and other health markers to see which approach works best.
