This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether time-restricted eating—a pattern where you eat all your meals within an 8-hour window and fast for 16 hours—can help women manage weight gain and uncomfortable symptoms during menopause. The trial will last 14 weeks, with an optional follow-up period of 12 months. Researchers want to see if this eating pattern improves body composition, reduces menopause symptoms, and supports bone health, while carefully watching for any side effects.
Weight gain and bothersome symptoms like hot flashes are common during menopause and can be especially challenging for women undergoing certain breast cancer treatments. This trial exists to see whether time-restricted eating offers a safe and practical way to manage these changes and improve quality of life.

If you are selected, you will be randomly assigned to either try time-restricted eating or continue eating as you normally do for 12 weeks. If you are in the time-restricted eating group, you will eat all your meals within an 8-hour window each day and fast for the remaining 16 hours. You will use a smartphone app to photograph your meals and track what you eat. The study lasts 14 weeks total, with optional follow-up visits for up to 12 months afterward, during which researchers will measure your weight, body composition, and symptoms to see how well the approach works.
