The optimal eating window for time-restricted eating (TRE) remains unclear, particularly its impact on visceral adipose tissue (VAT), which is associated with cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality. We investigated the effects of three TRE schedules (8 h windows in the early day, late day and participant-chosen times) combined with usual care (UC, based on education about the Mediterranean diet) versus UC alone over 12 weeks in adults with overweight or obesity. The primary outcome was VAT changes measured by magnetic resonance imaging.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate the impact of a 12-week time-restricted eating (TRE) program and supervised exercise on liver fat and overall health in adults with obesity, comparing it to usual care and each intervention separately.
- A total of 184 adults will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: usual care, TRE alone, supervised exercise alone, or a combination of both TRE and exercise, with ongoing nutritional counseling provided.
- The primary goal is to measure changes in hepatic fat, while secondary outcomes will assess various cardiometabolic health indicators, and the study has received ethical approval for its execution.
Background And Aims: To investigate the efficacy and feasibility of three different 8 h time-restricted eating (TRE) schedules (i.e., early, late, and self-selected) compared to each other and to a usual-care (UC) intervention on visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and cardiometabolic health in men and women.
