Intermittent Fasting Doesn't Help With Healthy Weight Loss, Claims New Study - News18

There are many people, including some celebrities such as Malaika Arora and Alia Bhatt, who swear by intermittent fasting to maintain their weight?

Though weight loss is slower with intermittent fasting, the diet pattern is easy to adopt.

Does intermittent fasting help you lose weight.

In order to find out the effectiveness of intermittent fasting, scientists from the University of California along with other fellow researchers conducted a 12-week clinical study on 116 participants (both men and women) in the age group of 18 to 64 years with a body mass index (BMI) between 27 and 43.

The results of the study showed that over the course of three months, the average weight loss in the fasting group was 2 pounds (0.9 kgs) whereas it was 1.5 pounds in the consistent meal group.

Moreover, the fasting group that went to the labs for their examination lost more weight than the others but 65% of that lost weight was not from body fat but lean mass, commonly known as muscle.
