Meal timing during alternate day fasting: Impact on body weight and cardiovascular disease risk in obese adults

Objective Alternate day fasting (ADF; 24‐h feeding/24‐h 25% energy intake at lunchtime), is effective for weight loss, but diet tolerability is questionable. Moving the fast day meal to dinnertime, or dividing it into smaller meals, may improve tolerability. Accordingly, this study compared the effe...

Zusammenfassung:Objective Alternate day fasting (ADF; 24‐h feeding/24‐h 25% energy intake at lunchtime), is effective for weight loss, but diet tolerability is questionable. Moving the fast day meal to dinnertime, or dividing it into smaller meals, may improve tolerability. Accordingly, this study compared the effects of ADF with three meal times on body weight and heart disease risk. Methods Obese subjects (n = 74) were randomized to 1 of 3 groups for 8 weeks: 1) ADF‐L: lunch, 2) ADF‐D: dinner, or 3) ADF‐SM: small meals. Results Body weight decreased similarly (P
