Chrono-fasting for teens with overweight or obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a type of time-restricted eating, called chrono-fasting, in teenagers who are overweight or obese and tend to stay up late. It aims to see if eating within certain hours can help manage weight and improve health.
