The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the effects of one regular fasting day per week over a total period of 8 weeks compared to a normal-eating habits among healthy volunteers.
Participants in the intervention group receive an initial group training for fasting. Then all participants will observe one fixed fasting day per week (monday) over a total period of eight weeks.
Participants in the control group receive an initial group training for healthy diet according to current German guidelines (DGE). Moreover, they will receive the same offer as in the intervention group at the end of the 8-week study period. Until then the control group participants follow a regular healthy diet.
