Remember that a healthy lifestyle has benefits regardless of weight. Most behavioural weight loss methods, including intermittent fasting, result in short-term weight loss followed by weight regain. That means intermittent fasting doesn’t appear to be any better or worse than any other type of energy restrictive diet if weight loss is the goal. Intermittent fasting ‘works’ for weight loss simply because you eat less food. Most studies find minor differences in weight loss between approaches. There have been many human weight-loss trials comparing intermittent fasting against traditional energy restricted diets. That creates an energy deficit and results in weight loss. The idea behind fasting for weight loss is that when we eat after an extended fast, we don’t fully compensate for the food we’ve gone without. Many people find the 16/8 method to be the simplest and most sustainable method to stick to. Which way of fasting is best? There isn’t a clear answer to this. Or even 18/6 or up to 20/4 (20 hours fasting followed by a 4-hour eating window). There is also 14/10 fasting (14 hours fasting followed by a 10-hour eating window). This is the simplest method as it can mean having the last meal at 7pm and then eating again at 7am the next morning. Such as 12/12 (12 hours of fasting followed by a 12-hour eating window).
