Summary
Brief summary
Obesity is a serious medical condition, the adverse consequences of which include increased
risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, reduced fertility and cancer. The economic
cost of obesity was placed at $58 billion dollars in Australia in 2008 [1]. Studies in mice
and non-human primates have shown that moderate caloric restriction (CR) increases lifespan
and reduces the incidence of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes [2]. Reduced
risk of chronic diseases is also observed in humans following CR [3]. However, daily CR is
difficult to maintain long term, since the body defends against weight loss by inducing
"metabolic adaptation"[3] and altering the hormonal appetite response [4]. An emerging number
of studies are examining the effects of limiting food intake to prescribed time periods per
day, or every other day. Time restricted feeding (TRF) describes a dieting approach where
food is available ad libitum, however only for a limited period of time (i.e. 3-12 hours).

This pilot study will examine the effects of restricting daily food intake to within a 10
hour period on glycaemic control, body weight and biomarkers of metabolic health for 6-weeks.
This study will build on the existing knowledge base in humans as to whether meal timing,
rather than caloric restriction per se, is important to provide the stimulus required to
improve metabolic health and reduce risk of chronic disease.
