Intermittent fasting is no better than conventional dieting for weight loss, new study finds
With the wide selection of weight loss programs and diet plans available today, it is difficult to know which is the best option. One of the most popular diets that has come to light recently is called intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that condenses food intake to one time-restricted period, then fasting for the rest of the day. This study looks at the long-term effects of intermittent fasting on weight loss and overall health as compared to a general calorie-restriction diet plan. The researchers found that intermittent fasting and calorie restriction are equally effective for weight loss and improving metabolic health.
