Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
In a randomised, controlled, and crossover design, thirty participants will be randomised into one of the two intervention phases: control arm or early time-restricted eating (eTRE) arm for four weeks. Each phase will be separated by six weeks washout period. The eTRE arm will consist of an 8-hour feeding window (07:00 to 15:00) and 16-hour of fasting period. Meanwhile, the control arm will consist of a 12-hour feeding window (07:00 to 19:00) and 12-hour of fasting period. Participants will log in a food diary the food and the start and stop time of every meal eaten two weeks before the first phase of intervention and during each intervention phase. Before and after each intervention phase and during a 4-hour visit to the study clinic, the following parameters will be determined: body weight, waist/hip circumference, biochemical parameters, and blood pressure by a healthcare provider. Meal Tolerance Test (MTT) will be performed for glycaemic and insulinemic response and subjective appetite. The standardized breakfast for the MTT, will consist of a commercial standardized liquid meal and a Kellog’s® Rice Krispies® bar both providing 210 calories, 79% carbohydrates, 14% protein and 7% fat. To assess patient's adherence subjects will be regularly monitored by WhatsApp and phone calls..

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
To detect a difference of 10% in the primary outcome variable of glycemia 180 min AUC with a power > 0.8 and a type I error of 5% in a crossover design a group of 30 subjects were estimated. Time-course data will be analyzed by repeated measures (RM) two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to assess the effects of treatment, time, and the interaction of treatment and time. RM one-way ANOVA or Student’s t-tests will be used to compare the effects of treatments on fasting parameters. The D’Agostino-Pearson normality test will be performed to assess whether the data are consistent with a Gaussian distribution. Differences will be considered statistically significant at p < 0.05. Data will be processed and analyzed using the GraphPad Prism Software version 9.0 (San Diego, CA, USA). The sample size calculation was performed using the PASS 21.0 (Kaysville, Utah, USA) software.

Summary
Brief summary
The early time-restricted eating (eTRE) is a regimen that reduces the eating window and facilitates a longer overnight fast which may contribute to improve metabolic control. However, there is not a consensus about this topic and the implicated mechanism in this process is unknown. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effect of eTRE on metabolic control and circadian rhythm markers in subjects with obesity. Every participant will undergo two phases of treatment for 4 weeks each. Each phase will be separated by a 6-week washout period. The meal tolerance test, the evaluation of appetite and the circadian rhythm gene expression analyses will be carried out one day before and one day after the interventions. The control intervention will consist of a period of 12 hours of feeding and 12 hours of fasting, while the eTRE intervention will consist of 8 hours of food intake and 16 hours of fasting. We hypothesised that eTRE will improve metabolic control and circadian rhythm markers in subjects with obesity.
