Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: TRE GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In the TRE group, study staff will instruct the family unit on limiting the eating window to 10-12 hours per day, during which they can eat ad libitum. Notably, in the TRE group, participants (children and adults) will be instructed to brush their teeth with a WIFI-enabled toothbrush in the morning and specifically within ½ hour after their evening meal. This will serve as a cue to stop evening eating, and information from the WIFI-enabled toothbrush will be accessed by study staff to approximate the eating window. The adult from each family unit will receive a daily REDCap-administered email to indicate the timing of the first meal of the day and the last meal of the day for the parent and child, which will also serve as an estimate of the eating window.
Group II: Standard of Care GroupActive Control1 Intervention
The standard of care control group will receive dietary instruction that is based on a 1200-1500 calorie diet, as is typical of family-based interventions. Calorie counting will not be encouraged. However, families will be encouraged to follow appropriate portion sizes; increase vegetable, fruit and lean protein consumption; as well as decrease consumption of energy-dense but low-quality items (e.g., sugar sweetened beverages). Families in this group will also receive a WIFI-enabled toothbrush and daily REDCap surveys but will not be instructed on when to brush teeth or to shorten their eating window
