This research aims to evaluate how time restricted eating affects eating behaviors, diet quality, and body composition in women aged 20 to 29 years. The study focuses on limiting food and caloric drink intake to a specific daily window and observing related health and behavioral changes over time in this emerging adult female population. Participants will limit all food and caloric beverages to a 10-hour eating window each day for four weeks, ending by 8pm. Outside this window, only water and some non-caloric beverages are allowed. Before the intervention, participants will follow their usual eating and activity habits for one week. After the intervention, they may follow any eating pattern they choose for an additional four weeks. Throughout the study, researchers will assess emotional eating, external eating, and eating in the absence of hunger at multiple time points including baseline, during, and after the intervention. They will also measure diet quality, body weight, and body composition including total and visceral fat. Participants will use a smartphone and maintain their regular activities while following the eating schedule. The total study involvement spans about nine weeks including baseline, intervention, and follow-up periods.
