[HTML][HTML] Alternate-day fasting and chronic disease prevention: a review of human and animal trials
KA Varady, MK Hellerstein - The American journal of clinical nutrition, 2007 - Elsevier
Calorie restriction (CR) and alternate-day fasting (ADF) represent 2 different forms of dietary
restriction. Although the effects of CR on chronic disease prevention were reviewed

Accordingly, we review here animal and human evidence concerning ADF and the risk of
certain chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. We
also compare the magnitude of risk reduction resulting from ADF with that resulting from CR …
