Intermittent Fasting and Protein Pacing Boost Gut Health and Weight Loss
New research highlights the combined dietary strategy's superior benefits over traditional calorie restriction.
- Participants on the intermittent fasting and protein pacing regimen lost more weight and fat than those on a calorie-restricted diet.
- The study observed significant improvements in gut microbiome diversity and reduction in gastrointestinal symptoms in the intermittent fasting group.
- Beneficial gut bacteria linked to lean body types increased in participants following the intermittent fasting protocol.
- The intermittent fasting group showed higher levels of cytokines and metabolites associated with fat burning and weight loss.
- Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects and potential for personalized nutrition strategies.
