Scheduled fasting may help with weight loss – Harvard Health

April 12, 2022 By Paul Leave a Comment

There has been research that shows scheduled fasting can help people lose weight. The evidence shows that it can help overweight and obese adults lose weight and can help them lower their risk for cardiovascular disease. It can also help to lower blood pressure as well as blood sugar. The two most effective forms of fasting included modified alternate day fasting as well as the 5:2 method. Most adults who followed these plans were able to lose more than 5% of their total body weight.

Key Takeaways:

  • The authors of this study saw some evidence that intermittent fasting helped overweight and obese adults lose weight.
  • The best benefits came from modified alternate day fasting as well as the 5:2 diet where you eat normally 5 days a week.
  • More research is needed in order to fully grasp what the role of fasting does when it comes to preventing cardiovascular issues.
