Summary
This study tested seven different diets—including time-restricted eating, alternate-day fasting, and low-calorie plans—in 84 healthy adults aged 18-35 with normal weight. Researchers measured changes in belly fat, body weight, and blood markers over a 4-week diet period followed by a 28-week recovery. The goal was to see which diet works best short-term and understand the biological reasons behind the effects.
