This study is looking at how intermittent fasting affects your body's metabolism, especially if you are at high risk for diabetes. Researchers want to see if the benefits of fasting, like changes in fat levels and bone health, happen even if you don't lose weight. You might be able to join if you are between 21 and 45 years old, have a BMI (Body Mass Index) between 21 and 29, have normal thyroid function, and have a close relative with type 2 diabetes or a history of gestational diabetes. The study will measure changes in fat content and bone structure over three months to understand these effects. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 90 participants.
