Practicing protein pacing evenly spacing protein consumption throughout the day and intermittent fasting limiting eating to certain times is better for gut health, weight loss, and metabolic responses than just restricting calories, a new Arizona State University study finds.
27 women and 14 men who were overweight or obese were divided into two groups: one ate a heart-healthy, calorie-restricted diet, while the other followed a calorie-restricted plan incorporating intermittent fasting and protein pacing.
