Effect of time restricted eating on body weight and fasting glucose in participants with obesity: results of a randomized, controlled, virtual clinical trial

P. M. Peeke, F. L. Greenway, et al.

In an innovative pilot study, researchers explored the impact of a 14-hour metabolic fast combined with a commercial weight management program on weight loss and blood glucose levels in individuals with obesity. The findings demonstrate that this approach can lead to significant weight loss and improved fasting blood glucose levels, particularly among participants with elevated baseline levels, thanks to the efforts of authors Pamela M. Peeke, Frank L. Greenway, Sonja K. Billes, Dachuan Zhang, and Ken Fujioka.

Abstract
This pilot study investigated the effectiveness of a daily 14-h metabolic fast (14:10 TRE) combined with a commercial weight management program on body weight and fasting blood glucose (FBG) in individuals with obesity. 78 participants were randomized to 14:10 TRE or 12-h TRE (control). The 14:10 group showed a statistically significant weight loss (-8.5%) and improvement in FBG (-7.6 mg/dl) compared to the control group (-7.1% weight loss, non-significant FBG change). Both interventions showed greater FBG reduction in participants with elevated baseline FBG.
