Fasting diet growing in popularity
Fasting is a diet that’s growing in popularity.
The concept involves keeping your calorie intake to just one window during the day.
Those who follow fasting diets may feel less hungry throughout the day, said doctors, but they don’t promise guaranteed health benefits.
Although intermittent fasting can potentially reduce insulin resistance, research on the overall health benefits has been mixed.
People should also be cautious if they’re trying to use intermittent fasting to lose weight.
Doctors said it’s not a magic formula for weight loss and you still need to follow healthy eating habits. However, it can help people stick to a schedule when it comes to eating and avoiding late-night snacking.
People should talk to a dietitian or doctor before trying intermittent fasting.
