Effects of the Administered Time of Meal on the Treatment of Overweight and Obesity

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of the meal time administered on the body weight of adult individuals of both sexes, being overweight and obese. Experimental design: randomized controlled trial. Place of research: Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. Materials and methods: Anthropometric data, blood pressure, waist diameter will be measured; venous blood samples will be collected and stored for glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, urea, creatinine and ALT in serum. Intervention: Wait at least 20 minutes after finishing the first portion of meals, previously considered sufficient by the individual before serving again. The control group will also serve the dish the same way, but you can serve additional portion without waiting. Measurements: P values less than 0.05 will be considered statistically significant. Expected results: Weight loss, decrease in anthropometric markers and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
