Summary

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
We are currently screening for this study, but all in-person visits are on hold until the COVID-19 virus state of emergency is lifted.

The timing of food consumption is now recognized as a significant contributor to body weight regulation and metabolic functioning. However, most studies have been in rodents or normal weight persons. The proposed study extends this work, including Drs. Allison and Goel's previous work on the randomized study of daytime vs. delayed eating among healthy adults, to metabolically healthy persons with obesity, but who remain at risk of developing Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and diabetes. The study would represent the first randomized controlled experimental study in obese adults to provide isocaloric meals and snacks to participants in a free-living environment over a 8-wk period on each prescribed eating condition: daytime eating and delayed eating.
