Abstract in brief

Intermittent fasting (IF) combined with calorie restriction (CR) and liquid meals leads to greater weight loss and reductions in body fat, visceral fat, and cholesterol levels in obese women.
The study found that the group following IF with CR and liquid meals (IFCRL) experienced more significant improvements in weight, cholesterol, and heart rate compared to the diet with food-based CR (IFCRF).
Overall, combining IF with CR and liquid meals appears to be an effective approach for weight management and lowering risk factors for coronary heart disease in obese women.]
