Abstract: Weight loss with calorie restriction is the recommended approach for treatment of obesity, but this approach is resource-intensive and difficult to sustain over time.1 Time-restricted eating is a potentially low-cost and sustainable lifestyle in which daily intake of calories is restricted to a consistent time period of less than 10 hours without explicit attempts to modify diet composition or reduce calories.
