Feasibility of time‐restricted eating in individuals with overweight, obesity, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes: A systematic scoping review
Authors' conclusion
TRE is implementable, acceptable, and safe in populations with overweight, obesity, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes, but it should be accompanied by support and options for individual adjustments.
Study context
- Population
- Individuals with overweight, obesity, prediabetes or T2D undergoing time-restricted eating (TRE)28 studies
- Outcome
- Feasibility of TRE: recruitment rate, retention rate, safety, adherence, and participants' attitudes, experiences and perspectives
