In terms of weight loss solutions, it?s simple enough: intermittent fasting (IF) is restricting eating to certain hours of the day (for example, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.) and then abstaining from food for an even longer specified amount of time. There are a few ways to do intermittent fasting, the most popular being the 16:8 method, whereby you fast for 16 hours and restrict eating to eight daytime hours. Intermittent fasting has been proven to help people lose weight and may (if the diet is done healthfully) help reduce your risk of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
The theory is this: if you restrict eating for long enough, your insulin levels go down and your body will burn fat. Plus, it?s mostly foolproof as a diet method, since you?re keeping an eye on the clock rather than counting calories or calculating carbs and fat. And it seems to work: According to a 2018 study in Nutrition and Healthy Aging, intermittent fasting using the 16:8 method can help people lose up to three percent of their weight in 12 weeks. That said, the people who see the best results from intermittent fasting are also eating a healthy diet, low in sugar and refined carbohydrates, during non-fasting periods.
