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.
