What is being tested?

The study is testing how early time-restricted eating (eTRE) affects body composition. Some participants will follow eTRE alone while others will combine it with Branched Chain Amino Acid supplements. The goal is to improve upon previous studies by extending beyond 12 weeks and focusing on more variables.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects are not detailed in the provided information but may include hunger pangs, fatigue due to dietary changes, potential nutrient deficiencies without proper guidance and possible gastrointestinal discomfort from BCAA supplementation.
