The Effects of Early and Late Time-Restricted Feeding on Body Composition
June 26, 2019 updated by: Emily Dhurandhar, Texas Tech University
The Effects of Early and Late Time-Restricted Feeding on Body Composition: an Effectiveness Trial in Sedentary Adults With Overweight and Obesity
A randomized controlled trial to determine the effectiveness of either morning or evening time-restricted feeding on body composition in sedentary, breakfast eating overweight and obese adults.
Three parallel groups were assigned to either morning fasting (MF), evening fasting (EF), or a control group and asked to do the intervention for 6 weeks.
Changes in body composition (change in weight, percent body fat percent, and percent lean body mass) are the primary outcome, and hunger and satiety ratings and physical activity are secondary outcome measures.

Experimental: Evening Fasters (EF)
Evening fasters were asked to not consume food after 3 pm until the next morning.
|
Restricting the eating window to about 8 hours a day, during waking hours.
|
Experimental: Morning Fasters (MF)
Morning fasters were asked to not consume food from the time they woke until 11 am.
