This study is being done to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a time-restricted eating intervention among postpartum women with overweight/obesity.
Existing postpartum weight retention (PPWR) interventions have had limited success. Timing-based interventions, such as early time-restricted eating (eTRE), show significant improvements in cardiometabolic endpoints in non-postpartum cohorts.

12 weeks of eTRE intervention. Study staff will provide 7 support sessions with brief behavioral support, including evidence based strategies of problem-solving, action planning, and motivational interviewing.
