Summary

This study will examine the effect of eating timing on body composition. Previous studies have shown that restricting food intake to 8 hours a day can result in losses in body fat and an up-regulation of fat use. The purpose of this study is to assess changes in body composition when the eating window time is from 6am-2pm vs 2pm-10pm.

Hypothesis: The 2-10pm eating window will result in significantly greater changes in body composition (i.e. decreased fat mass) and the 2pm-10pm window will result in better adherence.

Methods: Body composition (fat and lean mass) will be assessed by air displacement densitometry (Bod Pod). Measures will be made over 4 weeks (pre-) and (post) dietary treatment. Adherence will also be assessed by a questionnaire to determine the ease/difficulty of the treatment.
