About this trial

In a randomized controlled trial, the investigators intend to measure the health impact of time restricted eating (TRE) in patients with metabolic syndrome (with elevated blood pressure and at least 2 of the following: increased waist circumference, abnormal cholesterol levels, elevated triglycerides, and elevated fasting glucose levels), who habitually eat more than 12 hours every day. Patients will be randomly assigned to a control group (standard of care) or intervention group (TRE).
