Summary
This study looks at whether eating only during a set window each day combined with short, intense exercise can help overweight adults lose fat and improve health markers like blood sugar and cholesterol. One hundred participants will follow this routine remotely for 12 months, with check-ins at 6 and 12 months. The goal is to find a practical, long-term approach to managing weight and reducing disease risk.
