Who does intermittent fasting benefit?
Intermittent fasting is a newer diet strategy
Why
I have participated in intermittent fasting cycling
To learn how different individuals are affected by
intermittent fasting
Different health benefits along with fasting
1. Twice a week method
Types of
Intermittent 2. Fasting every other day
Fasting 3. Time restriction
4. Fasting for 24 hours once or twice a week
("Intermittent Fasting: 4 Different Types Explained",
2020).
Research done by the College of Family Physicians of
Canada
27 trials done broken into:
Intermittent 18 small randomized control trials (level 1
evidence)
fasting and 9 trails comparing weight after IF to baseline
(level 2 evidence)
weight loss
Systematic The study did not need funding as it was an overview
of 27 separate studies already completed.
review The Report was peer reviewed.
The study involved humans with a baseline weight
that had to reach the threshold of overweight to obese.
(Kelly et al., 2020).
Results:
Decrease in weight from 0.8% to 13.0%.
4.3% reduction in BMI.
Results and Anthropometric measurements decreased about
3 to 8 centimeters.
Limitations Limitation
Low enrollment (10-244 participants).
Different protocols
Short duration (2 to 26 weeks long).
No control group.
Only 5 studies included patients with type 2
diabetes.
(Kelly et al., 2020)
Research was done by Kidlington Nutrition
Nonrandomized clinical trial
If was used in health participants for 8 weeks with a 4
month follow up
A nonrandomized Outcomes assessed at baseline, after 8 week, and 4
controlled clinical month
pilot trial on 8 Those he did not wish to participate in fasting served
as the control group
weeks of
intermittent fasting Study was not funded as all participants were volunteers
(24 hrs/week) Report was peer reviewed
Study was done with human participant mainly females
The participants baseline weights had to fit the criteria of
healthy weight
(Kessler et al. , 2018).
Results:
Results and
No difference between the control group and the
Limitations fasting group
No difference in overall weight , body fat mass
Limitations:
Nonrandomized
Small sample size
Piolet study
Short duration of fasting
(Kessler et al. , 2018).
Overweight and obese participants saw weight loss
Compare the
and BMI reduction
studies Healthy weight individuals stayed the same in
baseline measurements and showed some signs of
fatigue
Both studies had limitations
Both studies I would call a high-quality source of
information
Comparison To Fasting is done to force the body to use other energy
sources as fuel
Athletes
Athletes should be consuming more energy through
food and now what the body has stored
Fasting is good after a bulking cycle to reduce fat
and promote the extra lean muscle built
Can have side affects for athletes such as irritability,
headaches, extreme hunger, low energy, and fatigue
Who has the most benefits from intermittent fasting ?
Question
A- Obese population
B- Healthy weight individual
C- Athletes
D- Harambe
