Brief Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine the effect of a chrono nutrition intervention compared with a usual dietary intervention on insulin resistance in individuals with type 2 diabetes with overweight or obesity over a 6-month period. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the effect of a chrono nutrition intervention compared to a standard intervention on insulin resistance in individuals with T2D (type 2 diabetes) with overweight or obesity over a 6-month period? Participants:

  • Will be asked to fast for 12 hours each day. During the fasting period, they may consume non-caloric beverages such as plain water, coffee, or unsweetened tea.
  • They will be asked to follow a dietary plan in which the total daily calorie intake will be calculated using indirect calorimetry, subtracting 500 calories from the total calorie amount.
  • The dietary plan will have the following macronutrient distribution: 40% carbohydrates (\<10% simple carbohydrates), 20% protein, and 40% fats (6-11% polyunsaturated, 15-20% monounsaturated, and \<10% saturated).
  • The plan will consist of 3 meals: breakfast will account for 40% of the total calories. Dinner will include only 10% of the total grams of carbohydrates.
  • The order of food consumption should be: 1) vegetables, 2) proteins, 3) complex carbohydrates, and 4) simple carbohydrates (fruits). Researchers will compare the chrono nutrition strategy with a standard dietary intervention to see the effect in insulin resistance.

Chrono nutrition

EXPERIMENTAL

1. During the 6-month period, participants will be asked to fast for 12 hours each day. During the fasting period, they may consume non-caloric beverages such as plain water, coffee, or unsweetened tea. 2. The total daily calorie intake will be calculated using indirect calorimetry, considering the participant's current weight, age, sex, and physical activity level. 500 calories will be subtracted from the total calorie amount. 3. The dietary plan will have the following macronutrient distribution: 40% carbohydrates (\<10% simple carbohydrates), 20% protein, and 40% fats (6-11% polyunsaturated, 15-20% monounsaturated, and \<10% saturated). 4. The plan will consist of 3 meals and breakfast will account for 40% of the total calories. 5. During dinner, only 10% of the total grams of carbohydrates will be included. 6. The order of food consumption should be as follows: 1) vegetables, 2) proteins, 3) complex carbohydrates, and 4) simple carbohydrates (fruits).
