Time-restricted feeding (TRF) combined with a low-calorie diet resulted in significantly greater reductions in weight, BMI, waist circumference, and body fat mass compared to a low-calorie diet alone after 8 weeks.
Practitioners may consider recommending TRF combined with a low-calorie diet for better weight management in overweight and obese women with food addiction.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The reductions in weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and body fat mass were significantly higher in the TRF group compared to the control group at week 8 (P = 0.018, P = 0.015. P = 0.03, and P = 0.036, respectively).
Why this rating
The study is a randomized clinical trial with a clear comparison between groups.
