Study Arms (2)

Modified Time-restricted Feeding

EXPERIMENTAL
Behavioral: Modified Time-restricted FeedingBehavioral: Physical activityBehavioral: Restricted consumption of sweetened beverages

Conventional diet

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Behavioral: Conventional dietBehavioral: Physical activityBehavioral: Restricted consumption of sweetened beverages

Interventions

The conventional diet arm will be asked to consume a hypocaloric diet, and they will be allowed to eat at any time of the day with no time restriction.

Conventional diet

The modified time-restricted feeding arm will be asked to consume any food but will be asked to consume this food for only a 9 hour daytime period.

Modified Time-restricted Feeding

At least 30 minutes of physical activity per day 5 times per week.

Conventional dietModified Time-restricted Feeding

Restricted consumption of juice, soda, and other sweetened beverages.

Conventional dietModified Time-restricted Feeding
