Fasting for the New Year? I have thoughts
By Angie Asche
Is it strange that, as a dietitian, the thing most people want to ask me about is NOT eating? Intermittent fasting is a hot topic and I know you have a lot of questions. So let's start with the big one…
Is intermittent fasting a good way to lose weight?
Research shows that fasting is no more effective than a calorie deficit (consuming less than you burn) for weight loss. But if you find a traditional calorie deficit difficult to stick to, intermittent fasting could be useful for achieving your goal.
Let's say you've got a sweet tooth that regularly kicks in around 8pm. Fasting in the evening might make it easier for you to avoid a snack attack by placing all food off limits at that time of day. But remember, intermittent fasting isn't a silver bullet. For some people, it just makes it easier to eat less overall without thinking about it.
