Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this pilot research is to test the feasibility of two interventions focused on either reducing total calorie intake or reducing the total time that calories are ingested each day in older adults. Participation in this research will involve visits to our clinic for testing and weekly intervention visits (in-person or remote depending on group assignment) for nine months with total participation lasting about a year.

Detailed Description

This pilot study is part of a larger planning process to design a full-scale randomized trial to evaluate the long-term effects of caloric restriction (CR) and time restricted eating (TRE) on the health of older adults. The specific objective of the HALLO-P is to collect data to inform the design of the full-scale randomized trial to evaluate the long-term effects of caloric restriction and time restricted eating in older adults. The pilot is a 9-month clinical trial. The pilot data will be used to refine recruitment criteria, estimate recruitment yields, and refine intervention approaches.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Community-dwelling men and women residing in Forsyth County, NC or surrounding counties
  • obesity (BMI = 30 - \< =40 kg/m2) or are overweight (BMI = 27 - \<30 kg/m2 with an indication for weight loss (e.g., hypertension, hyperlipidemia, elevated waist girth, controlled diabetes)

Exclusion Criteria

  • persons for whom the interventions are potentially unsafe
  • history of eating or nutritional disorders
  • those who are likely to drop out due to severe chronic illness or other reasons
  • who show inability to perform self-monitoring activities required by the interventions
  • those doing shift work because disturbances in circadian cycles may interfere with TRE
  • uncontrolled or previously undetected diabetes because disease management may interfere with the interventions
  • certain medical treatments may complicate outcome interpretation

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Participants That Sustained >10% Caloric Restriction

Time Frame: Month 9

Ability of participants to sustain Caloric Restriction \>10%

Ability to Maintain Time Restricted Eating (TRE) Intervention

Time Frame: Month 9

This will measure the sustainability in a 9 month period of time and will be reported as the percentage of day eating within \<= 8.5 hour window which is pre-specified for each participant.

Number of Participants Who Were Retained

Time Frame: Month 9

Retention \> 85%
