Article Synopsis
- Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a dietary strategy that limits daily eating to a specific time window, and this study aimed to see if it works for pregnant individuals at risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
- In a 5-week trial, 32 pregnant participants either followed TRE (10-hour eating window) or usual care, with no significant differences found in glycemic control, body composition, or blood pressure between the two groups.
- While participants on TRE successfully decreased their eating window and reported increased hunger in the evening, the intervention had minimal impact on their overall diet and health outcomes.

Our aim is to determine the effect of a lifestyle intervention, initiated before and continued throughout pregnancy, on maternal glucose tolerance and other maternal and infant cardiometabolic outcomes.
