We hear a lot about the benefits of intermittent fasting, but a six- time study in JAHA set up that the length of time between the first and last mess had no effect on weight loss. rather, the number and size of refections may be the more important factor.
Although intermittent fasting has come a popular weight- loss strategy, strictly designed studies have yet to determine whether confining the mess window can effectively control body weight over the long term.
For the study, the exploration platoon developed a mobile app for 550 actors to track diurnal habits in real time. Actors were regularly asked to use the app during the first month and again during" power weeks" one week per month during the six- month intervention period.
After six times, the authors noted
* Mess timing wasn't associated with weight change.
* This included the time between the first and last mess, between waking up and eating the first mess, between eating the last mess and going to sleep, and total sleep time.
* Rather, the diurnal number of large( over 1 000 calories) and medium( 500- 1 000 calories) refections were each associated with weight gain.
* Smaller small refections( under 500 calories) were associated with lower weight.
The conclusion
There has been important debate about the benefits of intermittent fasting for weight. Does it really count when you eat your refections, or is it just the fact that eating within a narrower time window promotes lower calorie input? This study seems to give substantiation that eating lower and smaller refections matters further than when exactly those refections are eaten.
