Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of intermittent fasting 5:2 on body composition in employees with obesity in Jakarta.

Results: Fifty participants were included; 25 were allocated to the fasting group and 25 to the control group. There was no significant change in fat mass, fat-free mass, skeletal muscle, and BMI (p > 0.05). Significant in-group changes were observed in body weight (p = 0.023) and BMI (p = 0.018) in the fasting group. Dietary intake was similar before and during the intervention. The reduction in macronutrient intake resulted in a statistically significant difference in carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake in the two groups (p < 0.05). Intermittent fasting 5:2 results in weight loss but does not affect fat mass and fat-free mass reductions. None of the between-group differences were clinically relevant.

Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov with ID: NCT04319133 registered on 24 March 2020.

Keywords: Body composition; Employees; Fat mass; Fat-free mass; Intermittent fasting 5:2; Obesity.
