Study Summary

This trial suggests a simpler way to reduce obesity in adolescents: limiting time-restricted eating (TRE) to 8-10hr a day and fasting for the rest.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adolescents aged 12-21 with obesity, defined as having a BMI above the 95th percentile. They must be able to follow the study's schedule and eating/fasting times, which requires not currently being in other weight loss studies, no history of bariatric surgery or certain medical conditions like Prader-Willi Syndrome, brain tumors, diabetes, serious intellectual disability or eating disorders.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests two different time-restricted eating strategies for managing obesity in adolescents at risk for diabetes. One group will eat during an early window and fast afterwards; another will have a later eating window. The focus is on when they eat rather than what or how much.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While this trial does not involve medication that typically has side effects, participants may experience hunger during fasting periods and potential changes in energy levels. Psychological effects due to changes in diet routine could also occur.
