What a joke of an interpretation.<p><pre><code> Participants in the alternate-day fasting group ate more than prescribed on fast days, and less than prescribed on feast days
</code></pre>
So, the stated constraints <i>weren't even properly applied</i>.<p><i>Nevertheless</i>, the alternate day fasting group lost 12% more weight. How is that not significant?
The outcome: Alternate-day fasting does not produce superior weight loss or weight maintenance compared with daily calorie restriction.<p>I found this study after seeing an article on CNN titled "Eating in a 6-hour window and fasting for 18 hours might help you live longer".
