Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Time restricted feeding (TRF) is a novel type of intermittent calorie restriction diet that involves eating a daily period of 8 hours or less. This is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of time restricted feeding (TRF) on weight loss and cardiometabolic risk factors in obese adults over 12 months compared to continuous energy restriction (CER).
