introduction: obesity is a complex health problem. the aim of this study was to determine the effects of regular walking with alternate day fasting (adf) on health-related factors of overweight and obese females.‎  methods: 30 healthy inactive, overweight and obese women were divided randomly into three equal groups.  the groups were: control group (bmi: 30.72±4.40 kg/m2); the experimental grou...

Intermittent fasting (IF) has gained increasing scientific and general attention. Most studied forms of IF include alternate-day fasting, modified time-restricted eating (TRE). Several cardiometabolic effects have been described in animal models and, to a lesser extent, humans. This review analyzes the impact on weight loss, glucose metabolism, blood pressure, lipid profile A literature search ...

1. Male chickens, I week old, were fed alternately for 6 or 12 h periods with diets complementary in their amino acid composition. The isonitrogenous, isoenergetic diets were based on fish meal or sunflower meal as the sole source of protein, or fish meal-sunflower (40:60, w/w); each diet contained 120 g crude protein/kg. Other groups of chickens were given these diets ad lib. 2. Net protein ut...

BACKGROUND: Obesity can have deleterious effects on insulin sensitivity leading to endothelial dysfunction. Whether alternate day fasting (ADF) can ameliorate insulin sensitivity in a way that improves endothelial function remains unknown. OBJECTIVE: This study examined the impact of ADF on endothelium dependent flow mediated dilation (FMD) in obese subjects with different degrees of insulin re...

Considerable interest has been shown in the ability of caloric restriction (CR) to improve multiple parameters of health and to extend lifespan. CR is the reduction of caloric intake - typically by 20 - 40% of ad libitum consumption - while maintaining adequate nutrient intake. Several alternatives to CR exist. CR combined with exercise (CE) consists of both decreased caloric intake and increas...

Intermittent fasting (IF) describes a variety of eating patterns during which no or few calories are consumed for certain time, can range from twelve hours to some days, on frequent basis.
