ADF and 5:2 Studies
Where’s the science behind alternate day intermittent fasting and 5:2 fasting? We’re assembling Fast Days Healing Days list and hope you’ll help. In the early days, there will be many studies not shown on this page…please contact us and show us the study! If we think it’s useful information, we’ll add it to the growing list of studies!

Jan 2014 – Calories, carbohydrates, and cancer therapy with radiation: exploiting the five R’s through dietary manipulation
Cancer and Metastasis Reviews (January 2014)
Rainer J. Klement and Colin E. Champ
Objective: To review studies to determine how calorie and carbohydrate restriction may influence the response to radiotherapy, using the 5R’s of radiobiology: repopulation, reoxygenation, intrinsic radiosensitivity, redistribution, and repair; for the purpose of influencing standard of nutrition care for cancer patients.

Nov 2013 | Effect of Exercising While Fasting On Eating Behaviors and Food Intake
November 8, 2013 | Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition 2013, 10:50 doi:10.1186/1550-2783-10-50
Surabhi Bhutani, Monica C Klempel, Cynthia M Kroeger, Eleanor Aggour, Yolian Calvo, John F Trepanowski, Kristin K Hoddy and Krista A Varady
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the behavioral adaptations that occur when ADF is combined with exercise, and to determine how these changes affect weight loss. (Read Full Study)

Oct 2013 – Alternate day fasting with or without exercise: Effects on endothelial function and adipokines in obese humans
Objective: Alternate day fasting (ADF; which consists of an ad libitum “feed day” alternated with a 75% energy restriction “fast day”) combined with exercise improves several coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors. However, the effect of this combination therapy on endothelial function, and the role that adipokines play in mediating this effect, is unknown. Accordingly, this study examined the effect of ADF combined with exercise on brachial artery flow mediated dilation (FMD) and plasma adiponectin and leptin. (Read Full Study)

Lennerz BS, Alsop DC, Holsen LM, Stern E, Rojas R, Ebbeling CB, Goldstein JM, Ludwig DS
Objective: To examine the effects of the glycemic index (GI) on brain activity in the late postprandial period after a typical intermeal interval to evaluate hunger and craving thresholds in human subjects.

Mar 2013 – Alternate day fasting increases LDL particle size independently of dietary fat content in obese humans
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2013) 67, 783–785; doi:10.1038/ejcn.2013.83; published online 24 April 2013
M C Klempel, C M Kroegerand K A Varady
Objective: The goal of this study was to compared an ADF–HF (high fat) to an ADF–LF (low fat) diet on plasma lipids, LDL size and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) size. (Read Abstract)

Jul 2012 – Alternate day fasting (ADF) with a high-fat diet produces similar weight loss and cardio-protection as ADF with a low-fat diet
Metabolism Clinical and Experimental 62 (2013) 137-143
Monica C. Klempel, Cynthia M. Kroeger, Krista A. Varady
Objective: The goal of this study was to determine if these beneficial changes in body weight and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk can be reproduced in an HF (high fat) background diet is used in place of an LF diet during ADF. (Read Complete Study)
