A study at Arizona State University found that volunteers on an IF-P diet had a more diverse gut microbiome after 8 weeks, fewer gastrointestinal problems, and shed more visceral fat compared to those following calorie-restricted Mediterranean-style diet.
Both methods have been linked to various health benefits beyond weight loss, including improved digestive health and a more resilient immune system.
Intermittent fasting and protein pacing are dietary approaches linked to a more diverse gut microbiome and improved health outcomes.
Intermittent fasting involves limiting food consumption during certain times of the day or week. Protein pacing evenly spaces protein intake throughout the day.
Intermittent fasting and protein pacing are two popular dietary approaches that have gained attention for their potential benefits in weight loss and gut health. In a recent study conducted at Arizona State University, researchers found that these methods may contribute to a more diverse gut microbiome by limiting changes in food intake and timing.
The study involved 41 overweight or obese volunteers who were divided into two groups: one following a calorie-restricted Mediterranean-style diet based on US dietary recommendations, and the other following an intermittent fasting and protein-pacing (IF-P) diet for eight weeks.
Compared to the calorie-restricted group, those on the IF-P diet had a more diverse selection of microbiota after eight weeks. They also reported fewer gastrointestinal problems and shed more visceral fat, which is relevant to metabolic health risks such as diabetes and heart disease.
The researchers noted that specific diets might help remodel the gut for better weight control. However, larger trials are needed to validate these findings.

It is important to note that intermittent fasting may not be suitable for everyone and should be discussed with a healthcare professional before implementation. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure that all nutritional needs are met while following these dietary approaches.
A study conducted at Arizona State University found that a diet combining protein pacing and intermittent fasting leads to better gut health, weight loss, and metabolic responses than just calorie restriction.
The intermittent fasting protocol increases beneficial gut microbes tied to a lean body type and better health while raising the levels of proteins in the blood linked to weight loss.
Participants following this regimen saw better gut health, weight loss, and metabolic responses compared to simple calorie restriction.
Intermittent fasting increased beneficial microbes in the gut linked to a lean body type and improved overall health.
The intermittent fasting protocol led to greater weight loss and fat reduction compared to a calorie-restricted diet.

No formal fallacies found. Some informal fallacies and inflammatory rhetoric present. The author presents intermittent fasting and protein pacing as a better alternative to just calorie restriction for weight loss, gut health, and metabolic responses based on an Arizona State University study. The author also includes some context about the importance of gut health without committing a fallacy. However, the article references potential risks of intermittent fasting but does not directly commit any fallacies related to them.
A new Arizona State University study finds.
Intermittent fasting and protein pacing — limiting eating to certain times and evenly spacing protein consumption throughout the day — is better for gut health, weight loss, and metabolic responses than just restricting calories.
Intermittent fasting is a meal strategy where people switch between fasting and eating on a regular schedule, defined as at least 14 hours with no food.
Time-restricted eating, where people condense all of their eating into a daily window of 10 hours or less, is the most popular form of intermittent fasting.
People following time-restricted eating plans tend to eat fewer calories, which could explain weight loss.
Accuracy
Combined studies suggested that adults with obesity who limited their eating hours without focusing on calories naturally reduced their energy intake by 200 to 550 calories a day, losing 3% to 5% of their baseline body weight.
Participants following the intermittent fasting and protein-pacing diet experienced a reduction in overall body fat, including belly fat and deep abdominal fat.
Intermittent fasting and protein pacing are two popular weight loss approaches that may also contribute to a more diverse gut microbiome.
The latest research shows that intermittent fasting and protein-pacing diets limit changes in food intake and timing, affecting the adaptation of the gut microbiome.

A new study by researchers from Arizona State University and their colleagues highlights an eating strategy for significant health improvement and weight management: intermittent fasting and protein-pacing.
Participants following this regimen saw better gut health, weight loss, and metabolic responses compared to simple calorie restriction.
Intermittent fasting increased beneficial microbes in the gut linked to a lean body type and improved overall health.
It also increased levels of certain proteins (cytokines) in the blood associated with weight loss, as well as amino acid byproducts that promote fat burning.
The intermittent fasting protocol led to greater weight loss and fat reduction compared to a calorie-restricted diet, with an average loss of 8.81% of their initial body weights during the study.
Participants following the intermittent fasting and protein-pacing diet experienced reductions in overall body fat, including belly fat and deep abdominal fat, and saw an increase in the percentage of lean body mass.

One dichotomous depiction and an appeal to authority are found in the article. The dichotomous depiction is the comparison between the effects of two low-calorie dietary interventions: a heart-healthy continuous calorie-restricted diet and a calorie-restricted regimen incorporating intermittent fasting and protein pacing. An appeal to authority is made when quoting Alex Mohr, lead author of the study, discussing the role of gut microbiota in dietary responses. No other fallacies were found.

In a study conducted at Arizona State University (ASU), participants practicing intermittent fasting and protein pacing (IF-P) lost an average of 8.81% of their body weight, compared to 5.4% in the control group following a calorie-restricted diet.
Intermittent fasting and protein pacing improved gut health by increasing beneficial bacteria in the Christensenellaceae family and promoting longevity-related metabolic pathways.
Participants on the IF-P diet showed biological shifts associated with weight loss, including an increase in Christensenellaceae bacteria found in leaner body types.

The article makes several valid statements about the benefits of intermittent fasting and protein pacing. There are no explicit fallacies found in the text. However, there is an appeal to authority when the authors mention previous research by members of their team being borne out in this study.
The researchers saw an increase in bacteria in the Christensenellaceae family specifically, which has previously been tied to reducing our body mass index (BMI).
By identifying shifts in specific microbes, functional pathways and associated metabolites, this line of work holds promise for personalized health strategies as we can better tailor nutritional regimens to enhance gut function and metabolic outcomes.
