According to the definition of low carbon diet given by R. D. Feinman et al. (Nutrition, 2015), the daily carbohydrate intake of participants in this group was limited to 130g/ D, and the recommended diet was formulated according to the standard and combined with the local eating habits in Xi 'an, and dietary habit education was conducted. Participants could eat according to the recommended diet.
Participants fasted for 16 hours a day and ate for eight consecutive hours on the same diet as the low-carb group.
