Article Synopsis
- This study compared time-restricted eating (TRE) and daily calorie restriction (CR) to see their effects on sleep quality and weight loss in adults with obesity over one year.
- A total of 90 participants were divided into three groups: TRE, CR, and a no-intervention control group.
- Weight loss was similar in both TRE (4.61 kg) and CR (5.42 kg) groups, but there were no significant improvements in sleep quality, duration, or insomnia severity compared to the control group after 12 months.
The aim of this secondary analysis was to compare the effects of time-restricted eating (TRE) versus calorie restriction (CR) and controls on sleep in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Adults with T2D (n = 75) were randomized to 1 of 3 interventions for 6 months: 8 h TRE (eating only between 12 and 8 pm daily); CR (25% energy restriction daily); or control. Our results show that TRE has no effect on sleep quality, duration, insomnia severity, or risk of obstructive sleep apnea, relative to CR and controls, in patients with T2D over 6 months.

Adults with obesity (n = 90) were randomized to 1 of 3 groups for 12-months: 8-h TRE (eating only between 12:00 to 8:00 pm, with no calorie counting); CR (25% energy restriction daily); or control. Body weight decreased (P < 0.

- The study compared the effects of time-restricted eating (TRE) and daily calorie restriction (CR) on weight loss and sex hormone levels in adults with obesity over 12 months.
- Both TRE and CR led to significant weight loss in males and females, while the control group did not lose weight.
- Despite weight loss, levels of testosterone, DHEA, SHBG in males, and estradiol, estrone, and progesterone in postmenopausal females remained unchanged across all groups, indicating that TRE does not affect sex hormone levels.
Time-restricted eating (TRE) has become a popular strategy to treat obesity. TRE involves confining the eating window to 4-10 h per day and fasting for the remaining hours (14-20 h fast). During the eating window, individuals are not required to monitor food intake.
