Effects of 8-hour time restricted feeding on body weight and metabolic disease risk factors in obese adults: A pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Time restricted feeding decreases energy intake without calorie counting and may be a viable option for weight loss. However, the effect of this diet on body weight in obese subjects has never been examined.

Objective

This study investigated the effects of 8-h time restricted feeding on body weight and metabolic disease risk factors in obese adults.

Design

Obese subjects (n = 23) participated in an 8-h time restricted feeding intervention (ad libitum feeding between 10:00 to 18:00 h, water fasting between 18:00 to 10:00 h) for 12 weeks. Weight loss and other outcomes were compared to a matched historical control group (n = 23).
