First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether time-restricted eating (eating only during certain hours) combined with a Mediterranean diet could help women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Fifty-five women with PCOS and a BMI between 25-35 took part. The goal was to see if these diet changes improved their quality of life and body composition.
