Reply to comment by calumin in Intermittent Fasting significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP), but not diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The effects are likely due to weight loss. by glawgii

I personally saw my A1C go down while I was intermittently fasting. Don’t know if there are studies on that and I don’t know how to distinguish that from generally keeping my weight down.

That’s great!

I also had some very positive effects from IF. I’m just not sure I would have expected IF, on its own, to have affected my blood pressure, or any other statistic, without considering IF in combination with actual dietary choices.
