Changes in Olfactory and Taste Behavior in Overweight / Obese Subjects Undergoing Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) and Routinary diet habits for Diet, Healthy and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 102 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Literature experiences demonstrated the impact of medically-assisted pulsed fasting on olfactory behavior in both the animal and human models and - conversely - the lack of homogeneous results linked - up to now - to administrations of pulsed fasting which are not widely codified. Thus, objective of this study protocol is to evaluate the olfactory-gustatory aspects and blood patterns of a group of subjects suffering from obesity / overweight after a 6-month period of Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) (Group A) - consisting of a caloric restriction regimen - compared to a group of homogeneous subjects observing their own eating habits (Group B) which - according to a "cross-over" model - will undergo FMD in the following semester during which the subjects belonging to Group A will observe their eating habits.

Subjects will follow their routinary eating habits for 6 consecutive months
