Purpose: Obesity is reaching epidemic proportions, affecting 36% of the adult population in the United States. There is intense interest in dietary management to treat obesity and its associated complications. The first line of obesity treatment is caloric restriction (CR), although recidivism is common. For moderate CR, attrition rates of 20% are often reported, therefore weight loss options beyond CR are urgently needed.
Aim#1: Evaluate the effect of TRE with ad libitum intake on weight and body composition.
H 1.1: Individuals in the TRE and CR groups will have similar weight loss, which will be greater than weight loss achieved in the non-TRE group (primary outcome).
H 1.2: TRE will result in greater loss of loss of total body fat (quantified by DXA) and greater loss of hepatic/visceral fat/ectopic fat (quantified by MRI) than CR.
Aim#2: Assess the effect of TRE with ad libitum intake on caloric balance. H 2.1: TRE will reduce caloric intake compared with non-TRE [gold-standard interviewer administered 24-hour dietary recall (primary outcome)] with similar reduction as with CR, H.2.2: Compared with non-TRE, TRE will result in selection of more nutrient dense foods during a supervised meal within their eating window; this selection will be similar to CR. H 2.3 TRE will not alter physical activity, but will increase fat oxidation compared with CR and non-TRE.
Aim#3: Assess the effect of TRE with ad libitum intake on metabolic flexibility.
H 3.1: TRE will enhance metabolic flexibility compared with CR and non-TRE as measured by indirect calorimetry [RQ:Respiratory quotient before and during 2 step 6,6-2H2 hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp: primary outcome].
H 3.2: TRE will improve insulin sensitivity compared with non-TRE and similar to CR.
H 3.3: TRE will augment greater fasting lipolysis compared to CR and non-TRE as measured by [U-13C] palmitate and enhance lipolysis suppression during the 2 step 6,6-2H2 hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp.
If these hypotheses are confirmed, this project has significant impact. First, it will advance understanding of the mechanisms underpinning this innovative intervention. Second, TRE can be a practical means of implementing prolonged fasting on a large scale, thereby transforming the treatment of obesity.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time Restricted Eating (TRE) | Experimental | For the TRE group, we will restrict the eating window to 8 hours, where they will eat ad libitum. This is the same interval established by Dr. Panda and by our preliminary data. This interval will be entered into the mCC app and participants will be asked to adhere to this eating window during the intervention. All eating occasions will be logged using the mCC app. Only water and medications will be allowed outside of the eating window. |
|
| Caloric Restriction (CR) | Active Comparator | Participants randomized to CR will meet with the study dietitian prior to the intervention and be counseled on options to reduce their caloric intake by 15%, while maintaining their eating window. The 15% reduction was selected as our preliminary data and recent literature suggest that TRE with ad libitum intake reduces caloric intake by ~270 to 300 cal/day. The 15% CR is similar to the 11.9% CR achieved by the CALERIE-2 study, which is a 2 year study of CR.26 All eating occasions will be logged using the mCC app. The weekly dietitian review of the mCC information will include maintenance of the eating window and examination of dietary intake to determine compliance with the 15% CR. |
|
| Unrestricted Eating (non-TRE) | No Intervention | For the unrestricted eating (non-TRE) group, participants will eat ad libitum per their usual habits. They will receive initial counseling about mCC logging. All eating occasions will be logged using the mCC app. |
