Eight-hour intermittentfasting had similar weightloss results to calorie counting in adults with obesity, a new study has found.
The small, unblinded study compared weight loss in 77 participants who either intermittently fasted, adhered to a calorie-restricted diet, or were in a control group with no eating restrictions.
Intermittent fasting, or time-restricted eating, relies on the idea that the time you eat is more important for weight loss than what or how much you eat. Thefor eating patterns that could include several full days of fasting per week or time-restricted eating during the day. "Time-restricted eating is undoubtedly an attractive approach to weight loss in that it does not require the purchase of expensive food products, allows persons to continue consuming familiar foods, and omits complicated calorie tracking," Shuhao Lin, RD, University of Illinois Chicago, and colleagues write.
The weight-loss phase was followed by a 6-month weight-maintenance phase. During this phase, the window for eating was extended from 10 AM to 8 PM for the intermittent fasting group, and the calorie-restriction group was told to match their energy needs, which overall, had reduced by about 15% compared with baseline.
