Intermittent fasting is moderately more effective than traditional dieting, study finds
New research shows that this method leads to greater weight loss and improved metabolism. Possible rebound effects were not analyzed
It’s not just how much you eat that matters, but when you eat it. This is what social media started saying some time ago, and some scientific studies are beginning to confirm it. The idea is crystallizing in a new dietary approach: intermittent fasting. There is some controversy and conflicting opinions about this new technique within the scientific community. The information available is interesting, but insufficient. A new study, published on Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, has added something further by showing that this method is moderately more effective than traditional calorie restriction for weight loss.
