Is the effect of time-restricted eating on cardiometabolic health simply due to caloric restriction? Original paper

    In this randomized controlled trial in participants with obesity and impaired glycemic control, early time-restricted eating did not improve cardiometabolic risk factors compared to a calorie-matched usual eating pattern.

    Quick Summary

    In this randomized controlled trial in participants with obesity and impaired glycemic control, early time-restricted eating did not improve cardiometabolic risk factors compared to a calorie-matched usual eating pattern.

    What was studied?

    Whether time-restricted eating (TRE) promotes weight loss (the primary outcome) and improves cardiometabolic risk factors independent of caloric restriction.

    The secondary outcomes were waist circumference, blood lipids, blood pressure, and measures of glycemic control, including fasting glucose, HOMA-IR, glucose tolerance (measured using a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test), and glycated albumin (a measure of the average blood glucose level over 2–3 weeks similar to fructosamine).
