There's an interesting side-note that may turn out to be a main point. Dr. Adam Glidden wrote Time-Restricted Eating for Treatment of Obesity? The Devil Is in the (Counseling) Details but the article is paywalled. Just going on the title, and what was said in the NPR article, clearly this was not just a minor good-to-know.

I got a lot of my support from visiting forums like this one nearly daily. I also am a member of a Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS) chapter that meets in person weekly for accountability, education, and group peer-support. Sometimes these forums and TOPS can be a little corny and social, but it gets the job done.

It's one of those things where we get out of it what we put into it. Participate and it won't feel so lonely, teach and you will learn, explain and you will understand better. But the side-note or other main-point of this study -- in this study -- is that getting support in your journey counts.
