Intermittent fasting has become a popular dietary approach due to its potential metabolic benefits. A recent study aimed to compare the effectiveness of different intermittent fasting regimens with continuous energy restriction and usual diets. The analysis, which included data from over 9,800 participants across 153 studies, focused on three common intermittent fasting methods: time-restricted eating, alternate-day fasting, and the 5:2 diet.

The researchers examined four key metabolic domains – anthropometry, blood pressure, glycemic parameters, and lipid profile – across 14 specific outcomes. By using network meta-analysis, they were able to combine direct and indirect evidence to rank the effectiveness of each dietary strategy based on their impact on metabolic health. The results of the study were published in the journal BMC Medicine.

The findings revealed that all intermittent fasting regimens significantly reduced body weight compared to usual diets. Intermittent fasting was found to be more effective than usual diets in 85.4% of the studied outcomes and outperformed continuous energy restriction in 56.1% of cases. Among the intermittent fasting methods, alternate-day fasting consistently emerged as the most effective strategy for improving metabolic health, ranking first in 64.3% of comparisons.

This research supports intermittent fasting as an effective dietary approach for enhancing metabolic health. It outperforms usual diets and shows comparable efficacy to continuous energy restriction. Alternate-day fasting, in particular, stands out as the most promising regimen, consistently delivering significant improvements based on the current evidence.

These findings contribute to a better understanding of intermittent fasting as a viable strategy for improving metabolic health. They also provide valuable insights for future dietary recommendations. The study was conducted by Yu-En Chen et al. and can be accessed in BMC Medicine with the DOI: 10.1186/s12916-024-03716-1.
