Study Description

forty obese patients with dryness of eye, obesity, insulin resistance (prediabetes), and psoriasis (chronic plaque) will randomly distributed to group I (n =20 patients) or group II (n=20). Both groups will receive The intermittent fasting regimen consisted of eating ad libitum for five days and then will restrict calories ('fasting') for two days per week, for a duration of 12 weeks. On the fasting days, participants will be instructed to restrict their calories to a maximum of 600 kcal/day for females and 650 kcal/day for males.

The intermittent fasting intervention will consist of a dietary intervention 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.

Group I will receive a pyramidal training will be adopted for nearly 60 minutes (nearly two rounds of 21 minutes of running on electronic treadmill will be separated with 10 minutes of rest between the two rounds. Also, warming (4 minutes before start of pyrimidal trianing) and cooling (4 minutes after pyramidal training) will be done through gentle stretching exercises/activities. the exercise will be applied 3 times weekly for 2 weeks
