NCT ID NCT04385615

First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026

Summary

This study was designed to test whether a special low-calorie diet that mimics fasting can activate brown fat, which burns energy, in people with overweight. The plan was to compare a fasting-mimicking diet group to a control group over three months, using scans and blood tests. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
