This article reviews the current literature on dietary interventions, including time-restricted eating (TRE), intermittent fasting (IF), and fasting-mimicking diets (FMD) and their effects on weight loss. Dietary interventions, primarily known for their potential health benefits, are attracting considerable interest also for their effects on weight loss. The literature suggests that many popular diets can induce weight loss but only a limited number of studies actually demonstrate long-term…

Effects of Time-Restricted Feeding on Energy Balance: A Cross-Over Trial in Healthy Subjects
TLDR
The mystery of how TRF regulates energy balance is unraveled, supporting the use of TRF as an alternative dietary strategy for weight loss.
The Fasting and Shifted Timing (FAST) of Eating Study: A pilot feasibility randomized crossover intervention assessing the acceptability of three different fasting diet approaches
Intermittent fasting: promising premises or broken promises?

    International journal of food sciences and nutrition

TLDR
In this issue of International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, a systematic review from Sandoval et al provided an overview of studies conducted on trained or overweight individuals younger than 60 years old showing potential effects on body composition and mental health status, as well as potential results on biomarkers of metabolic health (including GLP-1, insulin, and glucose levels).
Fasting-mimicking diet prevents high-fat diet effect on cardiometabolic risk and lifespan.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that a 5-d fasting-mimicking diet (FMD), administered every 4 weeks for a period of 2 years, ameliorates the detrimental changes caused by consumption of a high-fat, high-calorie diet in female mice.
Associations between Fasting Duration, Timing of First and Last Meal, and Cardiometabolic Endpoints in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
TLDR
Evidence for the beneficial effect of starting energy consumption earlier in the day on cardiometabolic endpoints was observed in this large public health dataset.
Traditional and Medical Applications of Fasting
TLDR
It is concluded that the manipulation of dietary intake, in the form of calorie restriction, intermittent fasting, dietary restriction with the exclusion of some nutrients, prolonged fasting, and so forth, is anthropologically engraved in human culture possibly because of its positive health effects.
Impact of Nutritional Intervention on Taste Perception—A Scoping Review
TLDR
The present scoping review reinforced the notions postulating that certain taste tests might be specifically influenced by the nutritional intervention and that other ones might be susceptible to a wide span of changes beyond the extent of tastant included in the specific food changes.
Obesity-Related Chronic Kidney Disease: Principal Mechanisms and New Approaches in Nutritional Management
TLDR
Dietary management of patients with obesity-related chronic kidney disease should follow the guidelines of the Mediterranean diet, which is known to be associated with a lower incidence of CVD and beneficial effects on chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and cognitive health.
A Chinese medical nutrition therapy diet accompanied by intermittent energy restriction alleviates type 2 diabetes by enhancing pancreatic islet function and regulating gut microbiota composition
Dietary Assessment Tools and Metabolic Syndrome: Is It Time to Change the Focus?
TLDR
A review of current dietary assessment tools recommended for use by the AHA to assess dietary and eating patterns associated with MS development and treatment and how these recommendations align with recent and novel evidence on the benefits of restricting ultra-processed food and refined carbohydrates and modifying timing and frequency of meals is discussed.

TLDR
It is suggested that ADF is a viable diet option to help obese individuals lose weight and decrease CAD risk.
Effects of Time-Restricted Eating on Weight Loss and Other Metabolic Parameters in Women and Men With Overweight and Obesity: The TREAT Randomized Clinical Trial.
TLDR
Time-restricted eating, in the absence of other interventions, is not more effective in weight loss than eating throughout the day.
Effects of 8-hour time restricted feeding on body weight and metabolic disease risk factors in obese adults: A pilot study
TLDR
Findings suggest that 8-h time restricted feeding produces mild caloric restriction and weight loss, without calorie counting, and may also offer clinical benefits by reducing blood pressure.
Effects of eight weeks of time-restricted feeding (16/8) on basal metabolism, maximal strength, body composition, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk factors in resistance-trained males
TLDR
The results suggest that an intermittent fasting program in which all calories are consumed in an 8-h window each day, in conjunction with resistance training, could improve some health-related biomarkers, decrease fat mass, and maintain muscle mass in resistance-trained males.

TLDR
These findings suggest that these diets are equally as effective in decreasing body weight and fat mass, although intermittent CR may be more effective for the retention of lean mass.

TLDR
It was hypothesized that TRE facilitates weight loss, alters body composition, and improves metabolic measures and may be an option for treating obesity.

TLDR
Results suggest that the 5:2 diet is a successful but not superior weight loss approach in male war veterans when compared to a standard energy-restricted diet (SERD).
