Brief Summary  

This parallel group interventional study is designed to compare the effect of Alternate Day Fasting (ADF) vs The 5:2 diet vs control group, on various anthropometric, biochemical, clinical and nutritional parameters and quality of life in overweight and obese adults in a 12-week comprehensive behavioural weight loss intervention.
