Intermittent Energy Restriction Attenuates the Loss of Fat Free Mass in Resistance Trained Individuals. A Randomized Controlled Trial

There is a lack of research into how lean, resistance trained (RT) individuals respond to intermittent energy restricted diets. Therefore, we investigated body composition changes in RT-individuals during continuous energy restriction or intermittent restriction. A total of 27 males and females (25...

description There is a lack of research into how lean, resistance trained (RT) individuals respond to intermittent energy restricted diets. Therefore, we investigated body composition changes in RT-individuals during continuous energy restriction or intermittent restriction. A total of 27 males and females (25 &#177; 6.1 years; 169 &#177; 9.4 cm; 80 &#177; 15.6 kg) were randomized to a ~25% caloric restricted diet Refeed (RF; <i>n </i>=<i> </i>13) or Continuous group (CN; <i>n </i>=<i> </i>14) in conjunction with 4-days/week resistance training for 7-weeks. RF implemented two consecutive days of elevated carbohydrate (CHO) intake, followed by 5-days of caloric restriction each week. CN adhered to a continuous 7-week caloric restriction. Body mass (BM), fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), dry fat-free mass (dFFM), and resting metabolic rate (RMR) were assessed pre/post-diet. Both groups significantly reduced BM (RF: baseline = 76.4 &#177; 15.6 kg, post-diet = 73.2 &#177; 13.8 kg, &#916;3.2 kg; CN: baseline = 83.1 &#177; 15.4 kg, post-diet = 79.5 &#177; 15 kg, &#916;3.6 kg) and FM (RF: baseline = 16.3 &#177; 4 kg, post-diet = 13.5 &#177; 3.6 kg, &#916;2.8 kg; CN: baseline = 16.7 &#177; 4.5 kg, post-diet = 14.4 &#177; 4.9 kg, &#916;2.3 kg) with no differences between groups. FFM (RF: baseline = 60.1 &#177; 13.8 kg, post-diet = 59.7 &#177; 13.0 kg, 0.4 kg; CN: baseline = 66.4 &#177; 15.2 kg, post-diet = 65.1 &#177; 15.2 kg, &#916;1.3 kg <i>p </i>=<i> </i>0.006), dFFM (RF: baseline = 18.7 &#177; 5.0 kg, post-diet = 18.5 &#177; 4.5 kg, &#916;0.2 kg; CN: baseline =21.9 &#177; 5.7 kg, post-diet = 20.0 &#177; 5.7 kg, &#916;1.9 kg), and RMR (RF: baseline = 1703 &#177; 294, post-diet = 1,665 &#177; 270, &#916;38 kcals; CN: baseline = 1867 &#177; 342, post-diet = 1789 &#177; 409, &#916;78 kcals) were better maintained in the RF group. A 2-day carbohydrate refeed preserves FFM, dryFFM, and RMR during energy restriction compared to continuous energy restriction in RT-individuals.
