The aim of present study was to compare, and determine, the effects of a modified alternate-day fasting diet vs. calorie restriction on inflammatory indices and coagulation factors. This was a randomized clinical trial consisting of 80 metabolic syndrome patients, who were enrolled and randomly dichotomized into a modified alternate-day fasting diet or calorie restriction group for 4 months.

- The study compared the effects of calorie restriction and modified alternate-day fasting on adults with metabolic syndrome over 8 weeks.
- Out of 70 participants, 69 completed the trial, and results showed that modified alternate-day fasting led to significant reductions in body weight, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, and fasting plasma glucose compared to calorie restriction.
- However, no meaningful differences were found between the two diets in terms of lipid profiles, blood pressure (diastolic), or insulin measures, indicating both diets were similarly tolerable.
- The findings suggest that modified alternate-day fasting may be a more effective strategy for some metabolic syndrome parameters, but further research is needed to validate these results.
