Table 2 Clinical characteristics: pre and post fasting

Characteristic	Pre-fasting	Post-fasting	t-value	p-value	Effect size
Body weight (kg)	98.7 ± 17.6	96.3 ± 17.5	2.723	0.011	0.497
BMI (kg/m²)	38.29 ± 7.11	37.36 ± 7.11	2.689	0.012	0.491
WC (cm)	120.23 ± 11.96	117 ± 12.81	2.763	0.010	0.504
HC (cm)	129.9 ± 13.12	127.03 ± 13.45	2.908	0.007	0.531
WHR	0.926 ± 0.409	0.922 ± 0.399	0.777	0.443	0.142

Bold values mentioned in these tables means that p value were ≤ 0.050 (statistically significant results of the corresponding used tests)
Data is mean ± SD. Test of significance is Paired-samples t-test. Effect size was calculated by using G*Power software (version 3.1.9.7): 0.2 = small, 0.5 = medium, and 0.8 = large effect size
BMI Body mass index. WC waist circumference. HC hip circumference. WHR waist to hip ratio
