“…Similarly, participants in a 4-week 8-h TRE trial reported that food served at social events during the fasting period was a challenge to TRE adherence ( 25 ). In another trial with an 8-h eating window ending at 5 pm, having a social life was one of three main barriers identified by participants ( 23 ). Importantly, this study did not allow a self-selected eating window, so participants were required to finish their last meal between 5 and 5:30 pm.…”

“…This study also noted that adherence to TRE during weekends decreased over time, though the reason for this was unspecified ( 18 ). Bjerre et al ( 23 ) highlighted the importance of having adequate social support during TRE trials, citing experiences of participants whose eating windows would end in the middle of a three-course meal, or were continually offered food by those around them after their eating window had ended. At the risk of seeming impolite, participants often chose to fit into their social context by continuing to eat during their fasting window.…”

“…Parr et al ( 24 ) found that participants ate larger meals to avoid hunger during the fasting period. Similarly, concerns about potential hunger drove some participants to consume more food than usual during their eating window despite not feeling hungry ( 23 ). This behavior decreased as the intervention progressed, though it is unclear to what extent it negatively affected adherence.…”

“…Some participants prepared meals ahead of time in case they did not have enough time to cook before their eating window ended, while others carried food with them for easy access. Few participants also set alarms to remind them when to begin cooking dinner, or when to stop eating ( 23 ). The benefits of planning to increase protocol adherence are compounded by food choices, as participants who did not plan reported reaching for less healthy options to adhere to their eating window ( 20 ).…”

Barriers to adherence in time-restricted eating clinical trials: An early preliminary review

Time-restricted eating (TRE) has shown potential benefits in optimizing the body's circadian rhythms and improving cardiometabolic health. However, as with all dietary interventions, a participant's ability to adhere to the protocol may be largely influenced by a variety of lifestyle factors. In TRE trials that reported participants' rates of adherence, the percentage of total days with successful adherence to TRE ranged from 47% to 95%. The purpose of this review is to (1) summarize findings of lifestyle factors affecting adherence to TRE clinical trials outside of the lab, and (2) explore a recommended set of behavioral intervention strategies for the application of TRE. A literature search on Pubmed was conducted to identify clinical TRE studies from 1988 to October 5, 2022, that investigated TRE as a dietary intervention. 21 studies included daily self-monitoring of adherence, though only 10 studies reported a combination of family, social, work, and miscellaneous barriers. To maximize participant adherence to TRE and increase the reliability of TRE clinical trials, future studies should monitor adherence, assess potential barriers, and consider incorporating a combination of behavioral intervention strategies in TRE protocols.

“…Luckily, the animal data has shown that the benefits of TRE are maintained even if performed only during the week. Human data are lacking, but if this finding holds true, a five day "weekends-off" TRE regimen may prove attractive allowing participation in social events while maintaining adherence to TRE [ 242 ].…”

Obesity, cancer risk, and time-restricted eating

Obesity and the associated metabolic syndrome is considered a pandemic whose prevalence is steadily increasing in many countries worldwide. It is a complex, dynamic, and multifactorial disorder that presages the development of several metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases, and increases the risk of cancer. In patients with newly diagnosed cancer, obesity worsens prognosis, increasing the risk of recurrence and decreasing survival. The multiple negative effects of obesity on cancer outcomes are substantial, and of great clinical importance. Strategies for weight control have potential utility for both prevention efforts and enhancing cancer outcomes. Presently, time-restricted eating (TRE) is a popular dietary intervention that involves limiting the consumption of calories to a specific window of time without any proscribed caloric restriction or alteration in dietary composition. As such, TRE is a sustainable long-term behavioral modification, when compared to other dietary interventions, and has shown many health benefits in animals and humans. The preliminary data regarding the effects of time-restricted feeding on cancer development and growth in animal models are promising but studies in humans are lacking. Interestingly, several short-term randomized clinical trials of TRE have shown favorable effects to reduce cancer risk factors; however, long-term trials of TRE have yet to investigate reductions in cancer incidence or outcomes in the general population. Few studies have been conducted in cancer populations, but a number are underway to examine the effect of TRE on cancer biology and recurrence. Given the simplicity, feasibility, and favorable metabolic improvements elicited by TRE in obese men and women, TRE may be useful in obese cancer patients and cancer survivors; however, the clinical implementation of TRE in the cancer setting will require greater in-depth investigation.

Objective: This study estimated the effect of hypothetical interventions of higher and lower frequency of breakfast and post-dinner snack consumption (breakfast consumption 0-4 vs. 5-7 times/week and post-dinner snack consumption 0-2 vs. 3-7 times/week) on changes in body weight and composition over 18 months after a successful 6-month standard behavioral weight-loss program. Methods:The study analyzed data from the Innovative Approaches to Diet, Exercise and Activity (IDEA) study.Results: If all participants consumed a breakfast meal 5 to 7 times/week over 18 months, they would have regained 2.95 kg of body weight on average (95% CI: 2.01 to 3.96), which is 0.59 kg (95% CI: À0.86 to À0.32) lower than if all participants consumed breakfast 0 to 4 times/week. If all participants consumed a post-dinner snack 0 to 2 times/week, they would have regained 2.86 kg of body weight on average (95% CI: 0.99 to 5.25), which is 0.83 kg (95% CI: À1.06 to À0.59) lower than if all consumed a post-dinner snack 3 to 7 times/week.Conclusions: Regular breakfast consumption and minimizing post-dinner snacking may modestly mitigate weight and body fat regain over 18 months after initial weight loss.
