Relative to a non-diet control , IF and ERD are effective for the improvement of circulating TC , LDL-C , and TG concentrations , but have no meaningful effects on HDL-C concentration .
The present results suggest that these dietary practice s are a means of enhancing the lipid profile in humans
OBJECTIVES To the best of our knowledge , no systematic review and meta- analysis has evaluated the cholesterol-lowering effects of intermittent fasting ( IF ) and energy-restricted diets ( ERD ) compared with control groups .
The aim of this review and meta- analysis was to summarize the effects of controlled clinical trials examining the influence of IF and ERD on lipid profiles .
Effect of Low-Energy-Dense Diet Rich in Multiple Functional Foods on Weight-Loss Maintenance, Inflammation, and Cardiovascular Risk Factors: A Randomized Controlled Trial
ABSTRACT Background : There are no investigations regarding the effects of consuming low-energy-dense diets rich in multiple functional foods on weight-loss maintenance , inflammatory markers , and cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) risk factors simultaneously . Method : This r and omized controlled trial design was conducted on 90 men and women who were under a previous weight loss diet . Three months of intervention with recruitment at Allzahra Hospital , Isfahan , Iran , was done . Intervention was conducted following achieving 7–11 kg weight loss . Participants were encouraged to consumed these three : an isocaloric control diet ( 50 % of energy from carbohydrate , 35 % from fat , 15 % from protein ) , a low-glycemic-index diet ( LE ) ( 60 % from carbohydrate , 25 % from fat , and 15 % from protein ) , and a low-glycemic-index diet rich in multiple functional foods ( LE + FF ) ( 60 % from carbohydrate , 25 % from fat , and 15 % from protein ) . Fasting blood glucose , serum insulin level , lipid profiles , inflammatory markers , adiponectin , systolic and diastolic blood pressure , and anthropometric measurements were assessed using st and ard guidelines . Results : The percent changes of weight , waist , and body mass index ( BMI ) , systolic and diastolic blood pressure , malondialdehyde ( MDA ) , high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( hs-CRP ) , tumor necrosis factor ( TNF ) α , total cholesterol , low-density lipoprotein ( LDL ) cholesterol , triglyceride , and fasting blood glucose ( FBS ) were substantially more decreased in the LE + FF group compared to the LE and control groups ( p ≤ 0.03 ) . Percent change of adiponectin among the LE + FF group was significantly more enhanced ( 7.29 ± 0.10 ) compared with the LE group ( 1.28 ± 0.20 ) ( p = 0.001 ) . Significantly more increment in the percent change of total antioxidant capacity ( TAC ) ( 6.91 ± 0.10 ) was obtained among the LE + FF group compared to the LE group ( 1.79 ± 0.04 ) . Conclusions : This study provides established evidence supporting the beneficial effects of a low-energy-dense diet rich in multiple functional foods diet on improving weight-loss maintenance , inflammation , and cardiovascular risk factors
