IF-P Vs CR: The Winner

The study’s results provide compelling support for both IF‐P and heart‐healthy daily CR nutritional regimens to enhance all aspects of body composition (BW, waist circumference, total FM, percent FFM), cardiovascular (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, blood lipids), and satiety responses.

IF‐P proved superior on BW, FM, and VF loss and increased proportion of FFM and satiety compared with heart‐healthy CR regimens in women and men with overweight and obesity, despite similar energy intakes and unchanged levels of physical activity energy expenditure.
