From the paper:

"The BF group showed greater weight loss and waist circumference reduction. Although fasting
glucose, insulin, and ghrelin were reduced in both groups, fasting glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR
decreased significantly to a greater extent in the BF group. Mean triglyceride levels decreased by 33.6% in the BF group, but increased by 14.6% in the D group. Oral glucose tolerance test led to a greater decrease of glucose and insulin in the BF group. In response to meal challenges, the overall daily glucose, insulin, ghrelin, and mean hunger scores were significantly lower, whereas mean satiety scores were significantly higher in the BF group."
