40 obese adults with insulin resistance had reduced insulin resistance and improved cognition with both diets, but intermittent fasting showed stronger benefits in memory and executive function.

Both diets reduced insulin resistance and improved cognition, with intermittent fasting showing stronger benefits in memory and executive function. The study offers a "blueprint" for using biomarkers to assess diet impact on brain health.
