Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined how Ramadan fasting compares to non-Ramadan intermittent fasting (IF) in impacting body composition, finding that both types of fasting help reduce body weight, but non-Ramadan IF is more effective for overall body composition improvements.
  • Non-Ramadan IF significantly decreased body weight, BMI, and fat mass, without significantly affecting fat-free mass, whereas Ramadan fasting also reduced weight but with some dehydration concerns and less clear effects on body composition.
  • The study suggests that while Ramadan fasting can aid weight management, non-Ramadan IF might be more beneficial for improving body composition, highlighting different effects and potential adaptations from each fasting method.]

@Asif_DrMed @RebelGeek1111 @anyrium May I please add: Ramadan fasting is not equal to intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is called intermittent fasting or non-Ramadan fasting. IF has no religious roots to its development (many religions have fasting ethos) or scientific aspects. https://t.co/5Up2g6C1LC

Maybe you are a religious person and want to work on your spiritual life during 2023. Incorporate fasting into your spiritual practice! Most religions do! Are you an atheist? Incorporate fasting into your daily routine! You'll love it! https://t.co/g1jlLAvz38. https://t.co/mtVGms4Vbf
