Diet Review Intermittent Fasting for Weight Loss

Show Description

Fasting has been practiced for thousands of years, but intermittent fasting has recently become a popular dieting strategy Intermittent fasting cycles between brief periods of fasting, with either no food or significant calorie reduction, and periods of unrestricted eating Proponents believe the stress of intermittent fasting causes an immune response that repairs cells and produces positive metabolic changes, such as lower blood pressure or cholesterol Physiologically, calorie restriction has been shown in animals to increase lifespan and improve tolerance to various metabolic stresses in the body The evidence for caloric restriction in animal studies is strong, but there is less convincing evidence in human studies It is still unclear that intermittent fasting is superior to other weight loss methods in regards to amount of weight lost, biological changes, compliance rates, and decreased appetite Experts say more high quality studies including randomized controlled trials with long follow-up periods are needed
