Does intermittent fasting work?

July 24, 2022 By Paul

Intermittent fasting has become a popular method of losing weight. The argument for intermittent fasting is it increases your body’s responsiveness to insulin. When fasting, the body’s blood glucose levels decline, leading to a drop in insulin production, which in turn causes the body to burn stored energy and, eventually, fat. However, a study in the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that fasting didn’t cause any more weight loss than a calorie-controlled diet. However, it is possible that restricting the times of eating may help someone reduce their overall calorie intake. Note that daytime fasting (as opposed to overnight fasting) is hard. People are advised to check with their primary health care provider before taking on such a program.

Key Takeaways:

  • One recent study showed no weight loss difference between fasting and following a calorie-controlled diet.
  • Fasting can make you feel drowsy or irritable, or it can make it difficult to get the required nutrients.
  • Check with your primary health care provider before taking up fasting.

“The reason intermittent fasting is thought to be effective in weight loss is because it increases your body’s responsiveness to insulin.”
