TREAT (Time Restricted EATing) to improve cardiometabolic health
Description: Project Narrative Over half of American adults have overweight or obesity and are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Although caloric restriction has many health benefits, it is difficult to sustain overtime for most people. Time restricted eating (TRE), a novel type of intermittent fasting, facilitates adherence to the intervention and results in weight loss and improvement of metabolism. We propose to test the effect of an intervention aiming to restrict the eating window to 10 hours/day, compared to habitual prolonged eating duration of >14hours/day, delivered via a smartphone application, on weight loss and metabolism, in metabolically unhealthy adults aged 50 to 70 y old, with overweight or obesity. We hypothesize that TRE, compared to habitual long duration of eating, will decrease cardiovascular risk burden.
