      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this study, 100 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver, over 18 years of age, were randomized for 12 weeks by the simple randomized method according to the table of four random numbers and after stratification for BMI (1-range 25 to 29 and 2 - 30 and above) in four groups:
  1- Control (nutritional recommendations to control the disease)
  2- 16:8 fasting-mimicking diet: 16 hours a day in a fasting-mimicking mode and 8 hours of the usual diet.
3- Consumption of flaxseed (nutritional recommendations for disease control)
  4- 16:8 fasting-mimicking diet + flaxseed consumption: 16 hours a day in a fasting-mimicking mode and 8 hours of usual diet plus the consumption of flaxseed.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: The first intervention group: (Fasting mimicking diet 16/8): the people were given nutritional recommendations to control the disease and a person is in a fasting mimicking mode for 16 hours a day. Intervention 2: The second intervention group (consumption of flaxseed): the people were given nutritional recommendations to control the disease and they consumed 30 grams of flaxseed daily in 8 hours that are not fast. Intervention 3: The third intervention group (fasting mimicking diet 16/8 + flaxseed consumption): the people were given nutritional recommendations to control the disease, and the person was in a fasting mimicking mode for 16 hours a day and 8 hours of the usual diet plus the consumption of flaxseeds. Intervention 4: Control group: They follow the nutritional recommendations to control the disease.</i_freetext>
