The Impact of Time-restricted Eating on the Outcomes Associated With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a dietary pattern where food intake is restricted to 8 hours of the day with no limitation on nutrient quality or quantity. Participants assigned to the intervention group will eat their usual diet from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and then fast until the next day (protocol 8/16). During the 16-hour fast, only hot and cold drinks will be allowed, i.e. coffee, tea or tea and water, but all products and dishes with energy value (including coffee cream, sweet teas, alcohol, snacks, etc.) will be prohibited. The TRE protocol will be implemented 7 days a week for a period of 3 months (12 weeks).
