Studi mengungkap perubahan tubuh dimulai setelah tiga hari berpuasa

Puasa air selama tujuh hari memicu perubahan molekuler besar di seluruh tubuh, dengan efek paling signifikan baru muncul setelah tiga hari tanpa makanan. Para peneliti melacak perubahan protein pada sukarelawan sehat untuk memetakan respons ini secara mendetail. Temuan ini menyoroti potensi manfaat kesehatan sekaligus risiko dari puasa jangka panjang.

Para peneliti di Queen Mary University of London dan Norwegian School of Sports Sciences memantau 12 sukarelawan sehat selama puasa tujuh hari. Mereka mengambil sampel darah setiap hari dan menganalisis sekitar 3.000 protein untuk mengamati perubahan internal. Tubuh beralih dari menggunakan glukosa menjadi membakar lemak dalam dua hingga tiga hari pertama, yang menghasilkan penurunan berat badan rata-rata sebesar 5,7 kilogram. Sebagian besar hilangnya jaringan otot pulih setelah kembali makan, sementara hilangnya lemak sebagian besar tetap bertahan.

A small 2023 study of adults with obesity in China found that an intermittent energy restriction program was associated with weight loss and changes in gut bacteria alongside altered activity in brain regions linked to appetite, cravings and self-control.

An 18-month clinical trial involving more than 200 adults with obesity found that intermittent fasting led to about the same average weight loss as continuous calorie restriction after six months, while participants on the fasting plan reported less need to constantly monitor or restrict their eating.

A small clinical trial found that short periods of calorie restriction lowered inflammation markers tied to gum disease. Researchers at King's College London led the study involving patients in Spain. The results suggest dietary changes could complement standard dental treatments.

A new analysis in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology concludes that repeated weight loss and regain—often called weight cycling—does not appear to cause lasting metabolic damage on its own, after researchers reviewed decades of evidence from human studies and animal models.

A year-long observational study in Japan suggests that people with type 2 diabetes who tend to overeat in response to tempting food cues such as sight and smell may see greater weight loss—and possibly better blood-sugar improvement—after starting GLP-1 receptor agonists, while those with primarily emotional eating patterns show less consistent links to long-term outcomes.
