Summary
This trial aims to test if eating within a specific time window and consuming a low-calorie dense diet can help older adults with obesity and insulin resistance to reduce insulin resistance and body weight. Participants will be
Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults who are overweight and have insulin resistance. Participants should be willing to follow a time-restricted eating plan, which includes fasting for 14 hours and having a 10-hour window for eating.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effects of two diets during time-restricted eating: one group will eat foods with fewer calories per gram (low-energy dense diet), while the other will eat their usual diet. The goal is to see if this affects body weight and insulin resistance.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves dietary changes rather than medication, side effects may include hunger or discomfort due to the new eating schedule and potential changes in digestion or energy levels.
