IF-P Vs CR: Body Weight Loss And Fat Loss

Compared with baseline, both IF‐P and CR participants improved all body composition measures, with IF‐P producing significantly greater improvements in all outcomes on an absolute and relative basis Specifically, IF‐P lost significantly more total BW (−8.2 kg vs. −5.0 kg; or − 9% vs. −5% of initial BW), total body fat (−8.5% vs. −4.3%), AF (−23% vs. −12.5%), and VF (−33% vs. −15.8%) mass. Most interestingly, whereas absolute FFM decreased in both groups (~1.5 kg), the proportion of FFM to total BW increased significantly following IF‐P compared with CR (5.7% vs. 3%, respectively).
