Intermittent versus continuous energy restriction on weight loss and cardiometabolic outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials - Journal of Translational Medicine
Background This systematic review and meta-analysis summarized the most recent evidence on the efficacy of intermittent energy restriction (IER) versus continuous energy restriction on weight-loss, body composition, blood pressure and other cardiometabolic risk factors. Methods Randomized...translational-medicine.biomedcentral.com
Intermittent Energy Restriction for Weight Loss: A Systematic Review of Cardiometabolic, Inflammatory and Appetite Outcomes - PubMed
Current guidelines for obesity treatment recommend reducing daily caloric intake for weight loss. However, long-term weight loss continues to be an issue in obesity management. Alternative weight loss strategies have increased in popularity, such as intermittent energy restriction (IER), a type...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Intermittent Fasting and Fat Mass: What Is the Clinical Magnitude?
Clinical studies addressing the benefits of intermittent fasting (IF) diets have evoked interest in the treatment of obesity. Herein, the overall effects of IF regimens on fat-mass loss are explained in a brief review through a recent literature update. To date, human studies show a reduction in...www.mdpi.com
A randomized controlled trial to isolate the effects of fasting and energy restriction on weight loss and metabolic health in lean adults - PubMed
Intermittent fasting may impart metabolic benefits independent of energy balance by initiating fasting-mediated mechanisms. This randomized controlled trial examined 24-hour fasting with 150% energy intake on alternate days for 3 weeks in lean, healthy individuals (0:150; <i>n</i> = 12). Control...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Early time-restricted eating compared with daily caloric restriction: A randomized trial in adults with obesity - PubMed
E-TRE+DCR was found to be an acceptable dietary strategy, resulting in similar levels of adherence and weight loss compared with DCR alone.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Calorie Restriction with or without Time-Restricted Eating in Weight Loss - PubMed
Among patients with obesity, a regimen of time-restricted eating was not more beneficial with regard to reduction in body weight, body fat, or metabolic risk factors than daily calorie restriction. (Funded by the National Key Research and Development Project [No. 2018YFA0800404] and others...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
theres more but i believe this should be sufficient
Going through a lot of these you are citing as fact almost all of them say to some degree or another that the tests were inconclusive and that more long duration study was required to come to any real scientific result.
The only commonality that is even really mentioned across studies you've cited here is that there did not appear to be any difference between fasting or non. These are also not closed tests and by that I mean these individuals are not monitored 24/7.
With that said how much of the results here are tainted by overweight unmotivated individuals that may not have even tried? Or even honored the test for what it was supposed to represent?
So you taking a bunch of likely already lazy overweight people (its clear they mention selecting obese people as a part of this) and minus their measurable vitals the entire study is dependent upon them actually following the program. One you cited had well over 100 people drop out.
How many people have you seen pick up a diet today and be off it tomorrow? If the information relies primarily on human behavior its likely these results are wildly tainted - with laziness.
Theres a clip floating around with Lee Priest joking about how he'd give someone a program on Day 1 and by Day 4 or whatever they are asking him when its going to change... this is just reflective of how unreliable people are when it comes to sticking to the plan and executing it.
