Summary

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a 2-month time-restricted feeding (TRF) intervention in children and adolescents with obesity. The investigators will determine whether the potential beneficial effects of the intervention in this population are maintained over time. Furthermore, potential mechanisms mediating TRF effects will be explored, specifically focusing on the potential role of the gut microbiome and the circadian rhythm.
