The Claim
Approximately 50% of participants who completed a 12-week initial program continued to follow their assigned dietary intervention—either time-restricted eating or caloric restriction—at the 6-month follow-up mark, suggesting moderate adherence over the longer term.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
About half of the people who finished a 12-week diet program were still sticking to their diet plan six months later, whether it was eating within a certain time window or cutting calories.
