Yes, but one can use a rule of thumb- One hour to the west- so to speak with such things as phone calls ( admittedly stationary). decades back there was a sort of (legal beagle) scam where one could reduce the impact- not completely, but measurably- by travelling Westbound on the Railroad- the longer the run the better, on say Fast days. the idea being to get around dietary laws- silly idea , but a sort of scientific solution. there were elaborate shaded maps printed on the church bulletins, time tables, direction of travel- sort of pseudo-scientific- odd for a religious custom- and it implied traveling westbound could minimize the effects, Mr. Philo Vance!

How do you change your watch and calendar when you cross the international date line going west?
Going west, you must tear the current day off of your calendar and dispose of it when you cross the IDL. Immediately as you cross, the date becomes one day later. It's not necessary to do anything to your watch, unless it's a calendar watch. If it is, then you do whatever you must in order to make it indicate one day later, but you make no change to the time.

Central zone is the next zone towards the west from the EST zone. So, to directly answer your question, you would adjust your watch one hour back. For example 8 am in EST is 7 am in CST.
