Time restricted eating

Time restricted eating involves restricting the window in which calories are consumed to 8-10 hours, without altering diet quality or caloric intake. In this study, time restricted eating will be a consistent 10-h eating window between 06:00 and 19:00, considered an early TRE pattern, for all days of the week, as chosen by the participant. They will need to consume all food and beverages (except water) during this window for the duration of the 8-week intervention.

BEHAVIORAL

Eating ad libitum with nutritional counselling

Nutritional counselling will include customized advice delivered by a registered dietician about dietary choices while allowing individuals to eat at any time of day.
