Trial Design

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Standardized TRE protocol + Peer SupportExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will be asked to follow a standardized 16:8 TRE protocol with an 11 am to 7 pm eating window for 16 weeks. Each participant will be matched with another participant in the same group to provide peer-based support to adhere to TRE. Study staff will introduce pairs and provide an introduction to TRE and then pairs will meet by phone/video at weeks 1, 3, 6, and 12 at a minimum, with additional contact encouraged.
Group II: Standardized TRE protocol + External SupportExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will be asked to follow a standardized 16:8 TRE protocol with an 11 am to 7 pm eating window for 16 weeks. Participants receive support to follow the TRE intervention from the study team which will include an initial consultation with a registered dietitian and ongoing tailored feedback via brief support calls from study staff at weeks 1, 3, 6, and 12.
Group III: Personalized TRE protocol + Peer SupportExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will be asked to follow TRE for 16 weeks with a protocol that is personalized to their preferences within the following pre-specified rules: 1) 8-10 hour eating window; 2) self-selected eating window start time as long as it ends ≥3h before bedtime; 3) if days off are required, aim to do so after following TRE for ≥5 successive days each week. Each participant will be matched with another participant in the same group to provide peer-based support to adhere to TRE. Study staff will introduce pairs and provide an introduction to TRE and then pairs will meet by phone/video at weeks 1, 3, 6, and 12 at a minimum, with additional contact encouraged.
Group IV: Personalized TRE protocol + External SupportExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will be asked to follow TRE for 16 weeks with a protocol that is personalized to their preferences within the following pre-specified rules: 1) 8-10 hour eating window; 2) self-selected eating window start time as long as it ends ≥3h before bedtime; 3) if days off are required, aim to do so after following TRE for ≥5 successive days each week. Participants receive support to follow the TRE intervention from the study team which will include an initial consultation with a registered dietitian and ongoing tailored feedback via brief support calls from study staff at weeks 1, 3, 6, and 12.
Group V: Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will be asked to maintain their usual diet and physical activity patterns for 16 weeks. They will receive the same number and timing of calls from study staff as the other groups (at randomization, 1, 3, 6, 12 weeks).
