abstract = "Introduction: Weight loss with preferential effect on the body fat,
especially visceral fat, could have important clinical benefits.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of
8-week personalized Chrono Nutrition weight management program
on body weight and body composition in obese women.
Method / Design: 157 obese women (aged 44,1 ± 12,7 years,
BMI= 35,5 ± 5,3 kg/m2, % body fat= 43,4 ± 4,9 %) participated in the
investigation. Participants were advised to have meals that contained
on certain well tolerated foods at a proper day time. Anthropometric
measurements and body composition by using a bioimpedance
analyzer Inbody 720 were assessed at the baseline, and after 4 and 8
weeks. Friedman test was used to compare anthropometric measurements during follow up, and post hoc comparisons with a Wilcoxon
signed-rank test was conducted with the applied Bonferroni correction method.
Results: Participants lost significant weight during the intervention (-5.1 kg at week 4 (p<0.001) and -3.5 kg at week 8 (p<0.001)). The
mean visceral fat area, mean total fat mass, and mean percent body
fat showed a trend of reduction during the whole period of the study
and the difference between each measurement remained statistically
significant (p<0,001). The mean skeletal muscle mass was reduced by
around 0,7 kg at the 4 weeks of program; the difference was statistically significant (p <0,001). Afterwards, towards week 8 of the program,
the mean value of the skeletal muscle mass showed no trend of further
reduction.
Conclusions: Chrono nutrition could be an effective and appropriate weight management program.",
