Obesity; Impaired Glucose Regulation; Prediabetes; Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

This multicenter, three-arm randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effects of early time-restricted eating and staple food reduction, each combined with an app-supported exercise intervention, on body weight and glycemic control among adults with obesity and abnormal glucose metabolism. A total of 300 participants aged 18 to 50 years with BMI \>=28 kg/m2 and impaired glucose regulation or diabetes will be enrolled at five centers in China and randomized 1:1:1 to app-supported exercise alone, staple food reduction plus app-supported exercise, or early time-restricted eating plus app-supported exercise. The intervention lasts 12 weeks, followed by a 12-week post-intervention follow-up.
