Help us find out by joining our study. The University of Alabama at Birmingham, Division of General Internal Medicine and Population Science is conducting an exciting research study to see if changing the time you eat can help with weight loss after having a baby. If you participate, you will either keep your normal eating schedule or change to a shortened daily eating window. If you are randomly chosen to do shortened daily eating window, you will fast for 15 hours per day and eat dinner by 6 pm about 6 days per week (1 break day per week).
You may qualify if:
- You had a baby in the last 3 months
- Your BMI is 25 or more- find your BMI at http://tinyurl.com/mrys2k39
- You are not currently taking any medications for chronic conditions
- You don’t smoke, vape, or use tobacco products currently or within the last 6 months
The study involves coming to UAB for 2 study visits spaced about 12 weeks apart. You will be asked to complete surveys, blood draws, body fat scans, and other simple tests. Compensation of up to $130 is offered for the completion of this study.
