time-restricted eating; intermittent fasting; fasting-mimicking diet
Clinical significance:
- round-the-clock access to energy-dense food & lack of exercise perturbs the circadian clock
- eating > 12 hours/day may have harmful metabolic consequences
- time-restricted eating & exercise may have independent health benefits
- cardiovascular benefit of pesco-Mediterranean diet in connection with time-restricted eating [2]
- association between intermittent fasting & reduced cardiovascular disease is inconclusive [3]
- time-restricted eating added no benefit to a low calorie diet (equal calories) for weight reduction in obese patients [4,6]
- effects of time-restricted eating on weight reduction in obese patients is likely due to calorie restriction [12]
- intermittent fasting (8-10 hours/day) as effective as calorie-restriction for weight reduction [9]
- time-restricted eating more effective for losing weight (~5 lbs) & improving diastolic blood pressure & mood than eating over a window of >= 12 hours [5]
- intermittent fasting can lead to diabetes mellitus remission [7]
- may benefit patients with NAFLD & non-alcoholic steatohepatitis [8]
- time-restricted eating can reduce body weight -1.43 kg & fat mass -1.56 kg especially in overweight persons
- time-restricted eating may improve lipid profiles in overweight persons, including decreased serum triglycerides -12.71 mg/dL, total cholesterol -6.4 mg/dL, LDL cholesterol -7.0 mg/dL [10]
- time-restricted eating has no significant effects on waist circumference, body mass index, hemoglobin A1c, or blood pressure [10]
- time-restricted eating is more effective for weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes than calorie restriction [11]
- no difference in time-restricted eating & calorie restriction in HgbA1c [11]
- intermittent fasting (8-10 hours/day) may improve glycemic control & may have wider cardiometabolic benefits in adults with metabolic syndrome [15]
- fasting-mimicking diet: a plant-based, low-calorie & low-protein 5-day diet presumably monthly may lower biological age [13]
Laboratory:
- intermittent fasting increases in intestinal microbiota diversity & abundance of beneficial bacteria includin Christensenellaceae, Rikenellaceae, & Marvinbryantia
Notes:
- intermittent fasting regimens include:
- alternate-day fasting
- fasting 2 days each week
- healthy living diet 5 days/week & restricting calories to 1/4 recommended daily intake for 2 consecutive days/week [14]
- daily time-restricted eating*
