PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY
What it found
The early-window group lost about 2.3 kg more weight. The primary body-fat outcome did not differ significantly in the main analysis.
Keep these limits in view
This was a short, single-center study. Actual calorie intake was not fully controlled, and a positive weight result should not be described as a proven body-fat benefit.
