Control

Core clinician-reference fields are available or not applicable.

Participants ate ad libitum between 12:00 and 8:00 pm daily and fasted from 8:00 pm to 12:00 pm the following day.

Time-Restricted Eating (TRE)

Participants in the TRE group ate ad libitum between 12:00 and 8:00 pm daily and fasted from 8:00 pm to 12:00 pm the following day.

Participants were instructed to reduce their energy intake by 25% of their baseline energy needs every day.

Calorie Restriction (CR)

Participants in the CR group were instructed to reduce their energy intake by 25% of their baseline energy needs every day.

Control participants were instructed to maintain their weight and usual eating and exercise habits.

Control diet

Participants followed a 10-h restricted feeding treatment program for 12 weeks.

Time-Restricted Feeding Group

Sixty patients participated in a 10-h restricted feeding treatment program (ad libitum feeding from 8:00 to 18:00 h; fasting between 18:00 and 8:00 h) for 12 weeks.

Participants maintained their normal diet throughout the trial.

The control group was asked to maintain their normal diet throughout the trial.
