Summary

The overall objective of the study is to examine the effect of an 8-hour time-restricted eating intervention on lipid levels and body composition in peri- and recently postmenopausal women with untreated dyslipidemia.

Detailed description

This is a randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of an 8-TRE intervention compared to ad libitum eating (control) on metabolic health and body composition in recently postmenopausal women with untreated dyslipidemia. Following a 1-week baseline assessment, participants will be randomized to either a TRE or unrestricted control diet schedule (1-to-1 ratio) for 8 weeks. At baseline and weeks 4 and 8 of the intervention, daily eating and sleep patterns will be assessed for one week, followed by collection of fasting lipids and metabolic labs, body weight and vital signs; questionnaires assessing sleep and mood health, actigraphy and body composition via whole-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry will be assessed at baseline and week 8.
