Not only pushes the eating window to the limits of Meal 1 &3, but also eats fewer calories and exercises more. Everyone volunteered for a weight loss study...they were hoping to lose weight! and use the accountability of being in a study to accomplish that, even those in the control.

That is a really good observation of a major confounder in studies like these. Hyper-responsible participants who don't comply with simply being a member of the control group. Hadn't thought about that before. Good stuff. Bet you weren't alone.
