About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
insulin resistant psoriatic obese patients may complain problems of dryness of eye. Intermittent fasting may improve dryness of eye, obesity, insulin resistance, and psoriasis. Exercise, as applied in pyramidal form, if added to intermittent fasting may improve effect of intermittent fasting.
The 2 groups in the trial
- exercised groupTreatment being tested
twenty obese patients with dryness of eye, obesity, (prediabetes), and psoriasis will receive intermittent fasting consisted of eating ad libitum for 5 days and then will restrict calories ('fasting') for two days weekly, for 12 weeks. On the fasting days, participants will restrict calories to a maximum of 600 kcal/day for females and 650 kcal/day for males. The dietary intervention will be based on the 5:2 fasting diet. Subjects will be asked to consume a total of allowed calories in a window of 6 hours or less from 8:00 am till 2:00 pm, twice per week on 2 non-consecutive days. also this group will receive a pyramidal training nearly 60 minutes (nearly two rounds of 21 minutes of running on treadmill will be separated with 10 min of rest between the two rounds. Also, warming (4 min before start of pyrimidal trianing) and cooling (4 minu after pyramidal training) will be done through gentle stretching. the exercise will be applied 3 times weekly for 12 weeks
