Implication

Randomized trial compares metabolic adaptation during weight loss with time-restricted eating and continuous energy restriction, indicating potential benefits.

Key Points

This research aims to compare metabolic adaptations during early weight loss in individuals with severe obesity using different energy restriction strategies.
Randomized trial with 42 participants assigned to continuous energy restriction (CER) or time-restricted eating (TRE + ER).
Evaluated resting metabolic rate (RMR) and body composition at baseline and after one week of dieting.
Analyzed data using ANCOVA and linear mixed-effects model.
RMR after one week was similar between groups (β_group = 47 ± 32 kcal/day; p = 0.148).
Early adaptive thermogenesis was significantly lower in the TRE + ER group (-13 ± 160 kcal vs. -83 ± 150 kcal; p = 0.038).
Hunger feelings increased in the CER group after one week (p = 0.048), while hormonal changes did not differ significantly between groups.
