Time-restricted eating for metabolic health
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating only during a specific time window each day can improve metabolic health in people with obesity and insulin resistance. If you have a high BMI and early signs of diabetes, this trial might help you understand a simple dietary change.
