Obesity is a disease defined by an elevated body mass index (BMI), which is the result of excessive or abnormal accumulation of fat. Dietary intervention is fundamental and essential as the first-line treatment for obese patients, and the main rule of every dietary modification is calorie restriction and consequent weight loss. Intermittent energy restriction (IER) is a special type of diet consisting of intermittent pauses in eating. There are many variations of IER diets such as alternate-day fasting (ADF) and time-restricted feeding (TRF). In the literature, the IER diet is known as an effective method for bodyweight reduction. Furthermore, IER diets have a beneficial effect on systolic or diastolic pressure, lipid profile, and glucose homeostasis. In addition, IER diets are presented as being as efficient as a continuous energy restriction diet (CER) in losing weight and improving metabolic parameters. Thus, the IER diet could present an alternative option for those who cannot accept a constant food regimen.
肥胖是一种由身体质量指数（BMI）升高定义的疾病，它是脂肪过多或异常积累的结果。饮食干预是肥胖患者的基础和必要的一线治疗方法，每种饮食调整的主要原则是限制热量摄入和随之而来的体重减轻。间歇性能量限制（IER）是一种特殊类型的饮食，包括间歇性禁食。IER 饮食有多种变化形式，如隔日禁食（ADF）和限时喂养（TRF）。在文献中，IER 饮食被认为是一种有效的体重减轻方法。此外，IER 饮食对收缩压或舒张压、血脂谱和葡萄糖稳态有有益的影响。此外，IER 饮食在减肥和改善代谢参数方面与持续能量限制饮食（CER）一样有效。因此，对于那些不能接受恒定饮食方案的人来说，IER 饮食可能是一种替代选择。
