Time restricted eating (TRE) is an emerging dietary intervention for weight loss that is hypothesized to reinforce the metabolic benefits of nightly fasting/ketosis. This pilot study investigated the effectiveness of a daily 14-h metabolic fast (14:10 TRE beginning after dinner, a "fasting snack" at hour 12, and ending with breakfast 14 h later) combined with a commercial weight management program on body weight and fasting blood glucose (FBG) in individuals with obesity. We also investigated the effect of the low-calorie, high-fat, low-carbohydrate, and low-protein "fasting snack" on blood glucose.
This 8-week, randomized, controlled, clinical trial included men and women (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m) between June and October 2020. Study procedures were conducted remotely. Participants were randomized to 14:10 or 12-h TRE (12:12, active comparator) and prescribed a diet (controlled for calories and macronutrient composition) and exercise program that included weekly customized counseling and support. The primary outcome was change from baseline in body weight in the 14:10 group.
Of the 78 randomized participants, 60 (n = 30/group) completed 8 weeks. The LS mean change from baseline in weight in the 14:10 group was -8.5% (95% CI -9.6 to -7.4; P < 0.001) and -7.1% (-8.3 to -5.8; P < 0.001) in the 12:12 group (between group difference -1.4%; -2.7 to -0.2; P < 0.05). There was a statistically significant LS mean change from baseline to week 8 in FBG in the 14:10 group of -7.6 mg/dl (95% CI -15.1 to -0.1; P < 0.05) but not in the 12:12 group (-3.1 mg/dl, -10.0 to 3.7; P = NS). Both interventions resulted in a larger reduction in FBG in participants with elevated FBG (≥100 mg/dl) at baseline (both P < 0.05).
In participants with obesity who completed 8 weeks of the 14:10 TRE schedule combined with a commercial weight loss program, there was statistically significant and clinically meaningful weight loss and improvements in FBG.
限时进食(TRE)是一种新兴的减肥饮食干预方法,据推测它可以增强夜间禁食/酮症的代谢益处。这项初步研究调查了每日 14 小时代谢禁食(14:10 TRE,晚餐后开始,12 小时时吃“禁食零食”,14 小时后吃早餐)与商业体重管理计划相结合对肥胖个体体重和空腹血糖(FBG)的有效性。我们还研究了低热量、高脂肪、低碳水化合物和低蛋白质“禁食零食”对血糖的影响。
这项 8 周、随机、对照、临床试验纳入了 2020 年 6 月至 10 月期间的男性和女性(BMI≥30kg/m)。研究程序是远程进行的。参与者被随机分为 14:10 或 12 小时 TRE(12:12,活性对照),并接受饮食(热量和宏量营养素组成受控)和运动计划的规定,其中包括每周定制咨询和支持。主要结局是 14:10 组从基线到体重的变化。
在 78 名随机参与者中,有 60 名(n=30/组)完成了 8 周。14:10 组体重从基线的 LS 平均变化为-8.5%(95%CI-9.6 至-7.4;P<0.001)和-7.1%(-8.3 至-5.8;P<0.001),12:12 组(组间差异-1.4%;-2.7 至-0.2;P<0.05)。在 14:10 组中,从基线到第 8 周的空腹血糖 LS 平均变化为-7.6mg/dl(95%CI-15.1 至-0.1;P<0.05),但在 12:12 组中没有变化(-3.1mg/dl,-10.0 至 3.7;P=NS)。两项干预措施都导致基线时空腹血糖升高(≥100mg/dl)的参与者的空腹血糖有更大的降低(均 P<0.05)。
在肥胖参与者中,完成 14:10 TRE 方案和商业减肥计划 8 周后,体重显著减轻,空腹血糖显著改善。
