Summary
This is a feasibility study that will collect data to assess the potential effect of a nutritional intervention designed to improve liver metabolism. This prospective single-site trial will enroll adult patients undergoing liver-directed therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma. Eligible individuals who are randomized to the intervention group will be enrolled in a six-month nutritional change program consisting of time-restricted eating in which calorie consumption is limited to 8-10 hours during the day, plus targeted healthy changes in what they eat. The intervention includes dietary counseling visits with a study registered dietitian and motivational phone calls with a study Certified Health and Wellness Coach to help subjects adhere to the intervention. Individuals in the control group will be enrolled in a six-month period of observation only. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is a prolonged nightly fast coupled with a healthy diet safe and feasible for patients with liver cancer? Does the intervention improve liver metabolism?
