Experimental: Early time-restricted eating Subjects window for eating would be between 08:00 AM - 4:00 PM |
Behavioral: Early time-restricted eating
Subjects can eat whatever they want between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM and can only consume water, black coffee/tea, or other zero calorie drinks (artificial sweeteners are okay) outside your designated eating window (from 4:00 PM to 8:00 AM).

Experimental: Late time-restricted eating Subjects window for eating would be between 12:00 PM (noon) and 8:00 PM |
Behavioral: Late time-restricted eating
Subjects can eat whatever they want between the hours of 12:00 PM and 8:00 PM and can only consume water, black coffee/tea, or other zero calorie drinks (artificial sweeteners are okay) outside your designated eating window (from 8:00 PM to noon).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in weight [Baseline, 12 weeks]
Reported in kilograms (kg)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in Hemoglobin A1c [Baseline, 12 weeks]
Hemoglobin is a protein within red blood cells. As glucose enters the bloodstream, it binds to hemoglobin, or glycates. The more glucose that enters the bloodstream, the higher the amount of glycated hemoglobin. An A1C level below 5.7 percent is considered normal. Reported as percentage of glycated hemoglobin
- Change in fasting glucose [Baseline, 12 weeks]
Glucose (sugar) measured in the blood and reported in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).
- Change in total cholesterol [Baseline, 12 weeks]
Blood sample taken to measure the sum of blood's cholesterol content and reported in milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL)
- Change in Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol [Baseline, 12 weeks]
LDL (bad) cholesterol measured in the blood and reported in milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL)
- Change in High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol [Baseline, 12 weeks]
HDL (good) cholesterol measured in the blood and reported in milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL)
- Change in Triglycerides [Baseline, 12 weeks]
Triglycerides levels measured in the blood and reported in milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL)
- Subjects to complete study [Baseline, 12 weeks]
Total number of subjects to complete study per protocol
