Scientific titleA randomised controlled trial of the effect of intermittent energy restriction (IER) versus daily energy restriction (DER) on body fat stores and blood markers of cancer risk.
Study acronymBRRIDE 2
Study hypothesisHypothesis: Excess fat is important in the risk and development of breast cancer. Fat stored within the liver has an effect on the control of blood sugar levels (insulin resistance)this is an important mediator of breast cancer risk. Excess fat also causes changes in sex hormone levels, and chronic inflammation that are important in breast cancer risk.

Calorie restricted diets cause reductions in liver and abdominal fat and reduced insulin resistance and hence reduced cancer risk. Intermittent dieting is an increasingly popular method of dieting (2 day diet book, Harvie & Howell, Fast diet, Mosely & Spencer) which involves short spells of severe restriction and spells of normal intake. We have shown that intermittent dieting leads to a greater reduction in insulin resistance than daily dieting with comparable weight loss.

We hypothesise that an intermittent energy restricted diet will lead to a greater reduction in liver fat compared to a daily energy restricted diet. This study will define the effects of intermittent compared to standard daily dieting on markers of cancer risk (insulin resistance, markers of inflammation) and inform the value of intermittent energy restriction as a potential cancer risk reduction strategy.

ConditionTopic: Cancer; Subtopic: Breast Cancer; Disease: Breast
Intervention1. Daily energy restriction, A daily 25% energy restricted Mediterranean diet (~1500kcal/day) for seven days/week which includes healthy fats, protein foods, low fat dairy, fruit and vegetables and high fibre carbohydrates and allows up to 10 units of alcohol per week
2. Intermittent energy restriction, a low carbohydrate energy restricted diet (600 kcal, <50g carbohydrate, 50 g protein day) for two consecutive days followed by an ~1900 kcal mediterranean type diet for the remaining five days of the week. Each of the two low carbohydrate 600 kcal energy restricted days includes; ~ 300g of lean protein foods e.g. lean meat, fish, eggs, tofu, quorn, textured vegetable protein, three portions of low fat dairy foods, five portions of low carbohydrate vegetables; one portion of low carbohydrate
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Image determined hepatic fat fraction and lipid types (MRS)
2. Insulin resistance using modelling of insulin, glucose and Cpeptide measurements during an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)

All measured at baseline and after following diet for 8 weeks.
Secondary outcome measures1. Body mass and composition: total body fat, visceral and subcutaneous fat (MRS).
2. Intramyocellular fat fraction (MRS) a predictor of systemic insulin resistance
3. Pancreatic fat fraction and lipid types (MRS)
4. L3 skeletal muscle area using MR imaging – an indicator of sarcopenia and lean body mass
5. Markers of breast cancer risk. Inflammatory markers; IL6, adipokines: fasting adiponectin and leptin, IGF1
6. Fasting lipid profile. i.e. total low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglceride linked to risk of breast cancer44 and cardiovascular disease
7. Resting energy expenditure (Fitmate GS portable desktop indirect calorimeter (Cosmed, Rome Italy) .
We will also assess simple clinic body fat and fat free mass (bioelectrical impedence;Tanita 180) and anthropometric measurements (waist, hip and bust circumference)

All measured at baseline and after following diet for 8 weeks.
