In the backdrop of the rising concern of obesity among young Indians, a randomized controlled trial has been initiated to investigate the potential of intermittent fasting in promoting weight loss among overweight and obese adults. The study’s objectives encompass evaluating the impact of intermittent fasting on weight reduction in Indian subjects, analysing its effects on lipid and inflammatory marker parameters, and assessing compliance with and acceptability of the intermittent fasting regimen. This research is specifically focused on the Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar Districts. The anticipated findings of this project hold promise in contributing significantly to the establishment of intermittent fasting as an effective weight loss strategy in this demographic.
