Funded Activity Summary

One in four Australian adolescents is overweight or obese. While short-term weight loss is possible, keeping the weight off long term is difficult. We will test whether the alternate day fasting diet is effective, safe and acceptable to adolescents. We will undertake a trial involving adolescents aged 13-17 years who are affected by obesity: they will be randomised to receive either the alternate day fasting diet, or a standard weight control diet.
