Comparison of the effect of Modified Intermittent Fasting Diet and Daily Calorie Restriction Diet on sleep quality and anthropometric indices of obese and/or overweight adult women 18 to 50 years

omparison of the effect of modified intermittent fasting diet and daily calorie restriction diet on sleep quality and anthropometric indices of obese or overweight adult women 18 to 50 years

This is a randomized, controlled, parallel-group trial. Participants will be stratified using stratified randomization based on age and BMI. Then using the random numbers table are assigned to one of the two groups intervention and control. Because it is a diet intervention, it is not blinding. The trial phase is not applicable.

Participants are selected from the Health Centers of Kashan University of Medical Sciences by convenient sampling. Participants are randomly assigned into two groups.

Inclusion criteria: Women in the age range of 18 to 50 years and body mass index greater than or equal to 25 and less than 40. Exclusion criteria: pregnancy, lactation, chronic diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders such as gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, Smoking habits, alcoholism, weight loss of 1 to 2 kg in the past month, following a special diet or taking certain medications, taking dietary supplements, having a mental disorder

Intervention: The energy requirements for the individuals calculate using the Mifflin equation. It involves alternating periods of feeding and fasting, on an every-other-day basis. Fasting day only comprises 25% of the recommended calorie intake. On feeding days, the participants are provided foods at 100% of calculated daily energy requirements. control: The energy requirements for the individuals calculate using the Mifflin equation. subjects consume 63% of their energy requirement each day.

The sleep quality؛ daytime sleepiness؛ insomnia؛ BMI؛ FFM؛ and the body fat mass

Due to the delay in the recruitment dates, we request to change the expected recruitment start date.

Subjects are selected by a convenient sampling method. Then, participants are divided into groups of control and intervention by simple randomization and using the random numbers table. The randomization method is that at the beginning, it is agreed to give the intervention group the odd number and the control group the even number. Therefore, participants are assigned to the control or intervention group depending on whether we reach the odd or even number in the random numbers table. Randomization is individual.
