Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to study the relationships between obesity hormones and menopausal status and breast cancer The researchers would like to study whether a type of nutritional intervention called a time-restricted diet or tRD is easy to maintain using a smartphone application the researchers also want to study the effect that a tRD has on weight control hormones and breast tissue A tRD is a type of diet that requires people to restrict their daily eating to a specific time frame each day The researchers think that this might be an effective and manageable way to control weight
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
I Feasibility of fostering adherence to self-monitoring of dietary intake using a smartphone application app
II Feasibility of the goal of following a time-restricted diet
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
I Identify potential molecular biomarkers andor signatures to explore its efficacy for the normalization of metabolism
II Assess the systemic endocrine effects of a time restricted diet tRD intervention in overweight and obese pre and postmenopausal women
III Assess weight change following a tRD intervention IV Evaluate the effects of a tRD intervention and identify a specific and reproducible genomic signature in breast samples obtained by random fine needle aspiration in the tRD study population
V Assess the volume of parenchymal enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging MRI
OUTLINE
Participants follow a time restricted diet which restricts daily eating to an 8 hour time window between 1200-800 pm Participants are allowed to consume non-caloric beverages water black tea black coffee diet soda etc during the fasting hours and required to record daily food consumption in the smartphone app for 6 months Participants are also coached by telephone over approximately 10-15 minutes weekly for 1 month and then biweekly for 5 months
After completion participants are followed up for 3 months
