Time-restricted eating versus calorie restriction and their effects on daily body clock genes, sleep, metabolism, and body measurements in obese women

This randomized controlled trial will examine the effects of time-restricted eating on gene expression and sleep quality in women with obesity.

• Obesity is associated with disturbances in circadian rhythm and sleep quality.
• Genes that control circadian rhythms may be disrupted in individuals with obesity.
• Time-restricted eating could influence the expression of specific genes related to circadian rhythms.
• Comparative analysis will be conducted between time-restricted eating and an energy-restricted diet.
• The study aims to assess changes in sleep quality alongside gene expression outcomes.
