What people are saying
The overall tone reflects cautious acknowledgment that alternate-day fasting may not be superior to simple calorie restriction, with comments like 'It doesn’t work' and references to multiple studies. Posts cite examples such as the lack of differences in weight loss and adherence, emphasizing that evidence points to similar outcomes, with words and tone conveying moderate interest and engagement about the relevance and implications of these results.
Most discussions point out that the study finds no significant advantage of alternate-day fasting over daily caloric restriction, reflecting a neutral stance overall.
Participants show moderate curiosity, with some posts expressing disappointment or skepticism about fasting's effectiveness, but few exploration details.
Many comments reference specific studies, compare findings, and mention broader implications, indicating a moderate level of engagement.
The discussions suggest the findings influence opinions about dieting strategies, but there's no strong consensus on a major paradigm shift yet.
Abstract in brief
- The study compared alternate-day fasting, daily calorie restriction, and no intervention over one year in obese adults to evaluate effects on weight loss, maintenance, and cardiovascular risk indicators, with results showing similar weight loss in both fasting and calorie restriction groups.
- Participants in the alternate-day fasting group tended to eat more than the recommended calories on fasting days and less on feast days, while those in the daily calorie restriction group mostly stayed within their calorie goals.
- The dropout rate was highest in the alternate-day fasting group, and overall, both fasting and calorie restriction were effective for weight loss, but adherence to prescribed calories varied between groups.]

@mkaeberlein @robertlufkinmd As you (@mkaeberlein) have also pointed out,the dog study result is also associational.Larger,longer-term human clinical trials find TRE yields few to no benefits vs. similar overall daily calorie control https://t.co/tH2uWMtdUt https://t.co/8tWC9B4fVF https://t.co/Kd5h5xfwLW
@LaraPo8 @mkaeberlein A number of human studies find that time-restricted feeding leads disproportionately to loss of lean vs. adipose tissue — eg, probably most rigorously, https://t.co/tH2uWMtdUt Tho' surprisingly not in this largeish alternate-day fasting trial https://t.co/MCTfMElluZ

Nessuna differenza a un anno di perdita di peso, mantenimento o cardioprotezione tra “digiunare” un giorno si e uno no e una restrizione calorica moderata (75% kcal) giornaliera (cioè a parità di calorie) https://t.co/FklULSQRO8 https://t.co/rsMcReQcgo
