Intermittent fasting is a specific dietary approach in which food intake is restricted for certain periods. Recent scientific evidence suggests that intermittent fasting can positively influence body weight, insulin resistance, and markers of inflammation.\n\nThis study will examine whether restricting energy intake to approximately 600 kcal on two days per week has beneficial effects on MASLD. The nutritional framework is based on the guidelines of the German Nutrition Society (DGE) for a healthy diet (10 rules for healthy eating). Following a two-week introduction to these DGE recommendations, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups.\n\nIn the intervention group, participants follow a 5:2 intermittent fasting regimen, eating without restrictions on five days per week and limiting intake to about one-quarter of their usual daily energy (≈600 kcal) on two non-consecutive days. In the control group, participants follow a healthy diet according to DGE guidelines without restrictions on timing or energy intake.",[87],"Metabolic Associated-dysfunction Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)",[89,90,9,91,92,93,94,95,96],"time-restricted feeding","intermittend fasting","steatotic liver disease","MASLD","liver health","dietary intervention","nutrition","lifestyle intervention","2026-04-08",{"date":99,"type":100},"2026-04-15","ACTUAL",{"date":102,"type":100},"2025-10-15",{"date":104,"type":81},"2029-05-15",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
