Alternate Day Fasting for Weight Loss, Weight Maintenance and Cardio-protection
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Alternate day fasting, Calorie restriction, and 1 other intervention for Coronary Heart Disease and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The proposed research will demonstrate that alternate day modified fasting (ADMF) is a suitable alternative to daily calorie restriction (CR) for weight loss, weight maintenance, and heart disease prevention. Since many overweight and obese individuals find it difficult to adhere to daily CR, this diet option may improve adherence with these dietary restriction protocols. This, in turn, will allow a greater percent of the overweight and obese population to lose weight, maintain weight loss, and prevent future occurrences of coronary heart disease.
