This study examined the sustained effects of prolonged water-only fasting followed by an exclusively whole-plant-food refeeding diet on measures of cardiovascular and metabolic health including insulin sensitivity using the Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), body weight, blood pressure, abdominal circumference, high-sensitivity CRP, and plasma lipoproteins by following participants for an additional six weeks after fasting and refeeding ended. This is one of the first studies of prolonged water-only fasting with such long-term follow up. This data was collected as part of NCT04514146. Read the results of the study here.
