Summary

This study will test whether managing the hours during which people eat, called time restricted eating, might help them to lose weight. For this study, one parent and a child will enroll as a group (called a dyad).

The dyads will be assigned at random to practice time restricted eating (within 10-12 hours per day) but will be able to eat whatever they would like or to limit portion size and increase fruit, vegetable and lean protein intake and limit sugar sweetened beverages and undergo . Both groups will receive dietary counseling, Bluetooth toothbrushes and scales to help monitor their progress.
