2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Alternate Day Intermittent Energy RestrictionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants assigned to this diet will be asked to alternate between full calorie (no restriction) eating days with eating 40% of their daily caloric requirement on the other day. For example, if their requirement is 2000 calories they would eat 800 calories one day and as much as you want on the other day and repeat every two days. There will be occasional exceptions allowed with maximum of two 40% days in a row (followed by two full days) based on personal schedule with prior approval. They will follow this for 4 weeks.
Group II: Reduced Calorie DietActive Control1 Intervention
Participants assigned to this diet will be asked to restrict calorie intake by 500-1000 calories below their daily energy requirement every day. They will follow this for 4 weeks.
