Summary

This study looks at whether eating only during an 8-hour window each day (time-restricted eating) can help women with breast cancer feel better and have fewer side effects during chemotherapy. Some participants will also follow a Mediterranean diet. The goal is to see if these eating patterns are safe, help with treatment, and prevent weight gain. About 40 women with early-stage breast cancer will take part.
