Time-Restricted Eating in Adults With Metabolic Syndrome : A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Time-restricted eating (TRE), limiting daily dietary intake to a consistent 8 to 10 hours without mandating calorie reduction, may provide cardiometabolic benefits.

Objective: To determine the effects of TRE as a lifestyle intervention combined with current standard-of-care treatments on cardiometabolic health in adults with metabolic syndrome.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Barriers to adherence in time-restricted eating clinical trials: An early preliminary review.

Time-restricted eating (TRE) has shown potential benefits in optimizing the body's circadian rhythms and improving cardiometabolic health. However, as with all dietary interventions, a participant's ability to adhere to the protocol may be largely influenced by a variety of lifestyle factors. In TRE trials that reported participants' rates of adherence, the percentage of total days with successful adherence to TRE ranged from 47% to 95%.
