Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in Body Weight (kg)

    Body weight will be measured in kilograms using standardized procedures at baseline and at the end of the 8-week intervention.

    from enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks

  • Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) (kg/m²)

    Body Mass Index (BMI), calculated as weight (kg) divided by height squared (m²), will be recorded at baseline and at the end of the 8-week intervention.

    from enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks

  • Change in Waist Circumference (cm)

    Waist circumference will be measured in centimeters at baseline and at the end of the 8-week intervention using standardized anthropometric procedures.

    from enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Change in Fasting Glucose (mg/dL)

    From enrollment to the end of the treatment at 8 weeks

  • Change in Fasting Insulin (μIU/mL)

    From enrollment to the end of the treatment at 8 weeks

  • Change in HOMA-IR

    From enrollment to the end of the treatment at 8 weeks

  • Change in Total Cholesterol (mg/dL)

    From enrollment to the end of the treatment at 8 weeks

  • Change in Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure (mmHg)

    From enrollment to the end of the treatment at 8 weeks

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Early Time-Restricted Eating with Calorie Restriction

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants ate all meals between 08:00 and 16:00 daily with calorie restriction diet for 8 weeks.

Behavioral: Early time restricted eating with calorie restriction

Delayed Time-Restricted Eating with Calorie Restriction

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants ate all meals between 12:00 and 20:00 daily with calorie restriction diet for 8 weeks.

Behavioral: Delayed Time Restricted Eating with calorie restriction

control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants ate all meals between 08:00 and 20:00 daily with calorie restriction diet for 8 weeks.

Behavioral: Control group with calorie restriction

Interventions

Participants followed a diet with 25% energy restriction and an 8-hour eating window from 08:00 to 16:00. Dietary compliance was monitored by dietitian through food consumption records.

Early Time-Restricted Eating with Calorie Restriction

Participants followed a diet with 25% energy restriction and an 8-hour eating window from 12:00 to 20:00. Dietary compliance was monitored by dietitian through food consumption records.

Delayed Time-Restricted Eating with Calorie Restriction

Participants followed a diet with 25% energy restriction and a usual eating window from 08:00 to 20:00. Dietary compliance was monitored by dietitian through food consumption records.

Model Details: A total of 36 obese women aged between 20-49 years were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Early Time-Restricted Eating (eTRE; 08:00-16:00), Delayed Time-Restricted Eating (dTRE; 12:00-20:00), and a Control group (08:00-20:00). A one-day physical activity log was used to assess the participants' physical activity levels. Total energy expenditure was calculated for all participants, and a 25% energy restriction was applied to design individualized medical nutrition therapy.
