Protocol summary

Study aim
The purpose of the present study was to investigate and compare the impact of Modified Alternate- Day Fasting versus daily Calorie Restriction on anthropometric indices, glycemic markers, and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with metabolic syndrome.
Design
The clinical randomized trial, sham-controlled clinical trial with parallel groups
Settings and conduct
Subjects were recruited from the Sediqe- Tahere Heart Center. after classification and matched according to age, sex, and BMI, these subjects were randomly divided into two groups. a group of subjects received Modified ADF and another group received Calorie Restriction for 8 weeks. At the beginning and the end of the study, outcomes were measured. The energy requirement of each person was calculated by Mifflin equation.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: patients with metabolic syndrome, high BMI, no weight changes more and less than 5% for 3 months, no fasting for 3 months, Exclusion criteria: smoking, history of the disease, use of the desired drugs
Intervention groups
In Modified ADF group, subjects consumed very low-calorie diet (75% energy restriction) during the 3 fast days (Saturday, Monday, Wednesday) and then ate the diet that providing 100% of their energy needs on each feed day (3 days a week). In Friday subjects consumed ad libitum without limitation. in Calorie Restriction group, subjects consumed 75% energy needs in each day.
Main outcome variables
Body weight, BMI, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglyceride, body fat mass, fat-free mass, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Body weight and body composition analysis
Timepoint
Two times, before and after dietary intervention
Method of measurement
In light clothing, standing without shoes and hose on metal foot- plates while holding the handles of the bio-impedance analyzer (BIA; BC-418, Tanita Europe, Amsterdam, NL)

2

Description
BMI
Timepoint
Two times, before and after dietary intervention
Method of measurement
BMI was calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters (kg/m2)

3

Description
Waist circumference
Timepoint
Two times, before and after dietary intervention
Method of measurement
Waist circumference was measured by a flexible tape to the nearest 0.1 cm, in standing subject at the midway between the lower costal margin of the last palpable rib and the top of the iliac crest during a period of expiration.

4

Description

Intervention groups

1

Description
During 8-week ADF period, subjects consumed very low calorie diet (75% energy restriction) during the 3 fast days (Saturday, Monday, Wednesday) and then ate diet that providing 100% of their energy needs on each feed day (3 days a week). In Friday subjects consume ad libitum without limitation. ADF subjects were provided with meals on each fast day (ranging from 400- 600 kcal), and consumed ad libitum at home on feed day. The feed and fast days began at midnight each day, and all fast day meals were consumed between 12.00 pm and 2.00 pm to ensure that each subject was undergoing the same duration of fasting. all food prepared in the home. Subjects were permitted to consume calorie- free foods (such as water, green tea, coffee without sugar (< 400 mg caffeine per day), non-starchy vegetable (such as lettuce, cucumber, green leaf, tomato) and sugar free gums on the fast day and were encouraged to drink plenty of water.

Description
Control group: In Calorie Restriction group, subjects consumed 75% energy needs in each day for 8 weeks and includes 3 main meals and 2 snacks. All subjects in two groups were required to prepare all of their meals at home. The baseline energy requirements for the subjects were assessed by Mifflin equation. Daily dietary carbohydrate, fat and protein accounted for 52, 30 and 18% of ingested energy, respectively.
