Help us find out by joining our study. The University of Alabama at Birmingham, Department of Nutrition Sciences, is conducting an exciting research study, in collaboration with Pennington Biomedical Research Center, to investigate whether intermittent fasting or calorie restriction (i.e., losing weight) can improve health and slow the aging process. If you are randomly selected to do calorie restriction, you may lose weight by eating less. If you are randomly selected to do intermittent fasting, you will fast for 16 hours per day and eat dinner by 6 pm about 6 days per week (1 break day per week). We want you to be successful: the study provides intensive coaching and support to help you successfully lose weight or practice intermittent fasting. To qualify, you should: Be 25-45 years old Have a BMI between 22-30 Calculate your BMI here Be healthy Not currently taking any medications or supplements for chronic conditions Not smoke, vape, or use tobacco products currently or within the last 6 months Not currently participate in a regular program of heavy physical activity (e.g., jogging, running, or riding fast on a bicycle for 30 minutes or more per day)The study involves collecting a medical history, body fat and bone scans, blood draws, urine collection, questionnaires, and other simple tests.
