Intermittent Fasting Beats Isocaloric Continuous Dieting (Fat Loss & Health) | New Study + Research Update 12/18

Written by | published on

Is intermittent dieting the better form of dieting? Results are promising, but far from conclusive - even in 2018. Check out the latest study in Obesity  and selected research from '18, now! Let's get this straight, right away. The lion's share of the currently available literature on intermittent fasting vs. continuous dietary restriction suggests that "[i]ntermittent energy restriction [is] comparable to continuous energy restriction for short-term weight loss in overweight and obese adults" ( Harris 2018 ). And yes, there are numerous studies suggesting that intermittent (IER) is even superior to regular, continuous energy restriction (CER).

No, it wasn't a button like this which made the subjects happy. It took some time, yeah, but after a few weeks the participants, students of the Hannover Medical School , where the trial was conducted actually felt better, not - as the scientists who conducted this Ramadan fasting study had expected - worse than without their religious fasting. But let's not go too fast, here. The subjects had volunteered to participate in the study and were non-randomly assigned to a fasting (FG) and a non-fasting (NFG) group (according to their individual plans | Nugraha. 2016).

Ramadan Fasting Studies Showing Fat, but no Muscle Loss Support Benefits of 'Lean Gains'-Style Intermittent Fasting

Written by | published on

Remember, Ramadan fasting is not about eating healthy or dieting, after sundown most Muslims consume at least as much energy as on a non-fasting day. While scientists usually refer to alternate-day fasting as "intermittent fasting", the average fitness enthusiasts will think of Martin Berkhan's "lean gains" protocol, when he or she hears the words "intermittent fasting" - a protocol that involves fasting for minimally 16h and eating for maximally 8h and is thus somewhat similar to the "eat only after sundown" protocol Muslims follow during Ramadan. Against that background, it makes sense to assume that the two dozen of peer-reviewed Ramadan fasting studies from the Middle East and the Muslim part of Asia provide an (albeit often uncontrolled) model for intermittent fasting.

High Dose BCAAs for Cyclists | Colostrum Peptides for Bulking | Intermittent Fasting for Cutting | Probiotics for Muscle Protection -- ISSN'15 Research Review Issue #6

Are you trying to build a body like this? Maybe one of the supplements discussed in this article can help. To make sure that I am not missing other relevant / interesting new research spending time with the ISSN'15 poster presentations, this is going to be the last installment of the ISSN'15 Research Review . With six different studies in one installment of the series it is obviously difficult to find a common theme. With studies on the ergogenic and pro-anabolic effects of various supplements, I am yet sure that there's (at least) one interesting study for everyone. So what's your favorite? The study on the immune effects of BCAAs, the one investigating the differential effects of coffee and caffeine, or the experiment that probes the safety and effects of bioactive peptides, the one that tests the nootropic effects of alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine, caffeine or placebo or the new study on intermittent fasting?
