Official Title: Early vs. Late Time Restricted Eating in Adolescents With Obesity at Risk for Diabetes
Brief Summary: Many adolescents find it challenging to adhere to conventional treatment for pediatric obesity because they require daily calorie counting, easy access to fresh food, and the ability to change the home environment.
As such, adherence is poor which limits efficacy.
One simpler and promising approach is limiting the timing of eating, instead of changing the food quality or quantity.
This approach is called, Time-restricted eating (TRE) and involves eating over an 8- to 10-hour eating window and fasting for the remainder of the day.
