A study found that calorie counting and small meals were better for weight loss than intermittent fasting. But a different one found that intermittent fasting may help blood sugar, even without weight loss.
The intermittent fasting diet is one where people don’t eat for windows of time. Some advocates believe that it can improve insulin resistance. But does breaking the fast cause sugar spikes?
New research has found mixed evidence that intermittent fasting increases the risk of dying from heart disease. It sounds alarming at first, but there are a lot of things to consider.
A new, mid-sized study has found that eating smaller meals, and fewer calories may be more effective for weight loss than intermittent fasting.
Folks with blood sugar concerns may have good reason to only eat during the day. A study found that people with blood sugar concerns who only ate for 10 hours a day had better blood sugar.
New research has shown that eating early in the day may be best as it will lower a person’s appetite. This is the first study that shows how meal timing impacts the 24-hour energy metabolism when the amount of food and meal frequency are matched
A study found a fast-mimicking diet lowered people’s biological age by two and a half years. It also lowered blood sugar concerns, reduced liver fat and slowed immune system aging.
Intermittent fasting may help folks with blood sugar concerns. A study found that people had fewer spikes when they ate 80 percent of their daily calories before 1 p.m.
Plant-heavy diets are filled with nutrients, and intermittent fasting has positively impacted heart health in studies. Eating a balanced plant-based diet combined with time restrictions can aid heart health and lower the risk of heart disease.
Meal timing has been studied more and more recently, with the rise of intermittent fasting. A new study has found that people who eat dinner later can have peak blood sugar that is nearly 20 percent higher than folks who eat earlier.
