Abstract in brief

  • Intermittent fasting (IF) and alternate day fasting (ADF) are gaining popularity as easier alternatives to traditional calorie restriction (CR) diets for weight loss.
  • While CR shows greater reductions in body weight, IF and ADF led to similar decreases in visceral fat, fasting insulin, and insulin resistance.
  • None of the diets significantly lowered glucose levels, indicating more research is needed to fully understand the effectiveness of IF/ADF compared to CR for diabetes risk reduction.

@hectorlima Opa, não conheço ele, vejo o vídeo no final do dia. Mas a pesquisa em humanos já é extensa e antiga sim, e diferencia CR de jejum. Alguns exemplos: https://t.co/291cEG9Rdb https://t.co/lDRzDn8Asj https://t.co/rDxP0dnc5Z https://t.co/QwfWKYunzo https://t.co/JhB7os6z8Z

Multiple methods of intermittent fasting are available. One common approach is a daily 8-hour eating window with a 16-hour fast. Another involves eating only 500–600 calories 2 days per week (Source (https://t.co/38liHNPDy8), Source (https://t.co/tgasgOxrfJ)).
