The study aims to determine if modulating the energy density of the diet reduces:\n\n1. Insulin resistance and\n2. Body weight.\n\nResearchers will compare the groups:\n\n1. Following time-restricted eating and given a diet reduced in energy density or\n2. Following time-restricted eating and given a diet typically consumed in this population', 'detailedDescription': 'The study is an eight-week randomized controlled double-blinded clinical trial. Participants will follow time-restricted eating (14-hour fast, 10-hour eating window), and will be randomized to a diet low in energy density or the usual diet.

A blood sample will be drawn and body weight will be measured before starting the intervention and after completing it.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '75 Years', 'minimumAge': '50 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
