Note: Values are means ± SE; AF, VF, and subcutaneous AF mass were measured using DXA at pre and post only.

Abbreviations: AF, abdominal fat; BF, body fat; BW, body weight; CR, heart‐healthy daily caloric restriction; FM, fat mass; FFM, fat‐free mass; IF‐P, intermittent fasting and protein pacing; VF, visceral fat; WC, waist circumference; WL, weight loss.

a

Significant time effect (pre vs. mid vs. post), p.adj <0.05.

b

Significant time × group effect (pre vs. mid vs. post; IF‐P vs. CR), p.adj <0.05.
