According to the intermittent diet for 24 hours you do not eat anything and the next you eat normally, repeating the pattern over and over again.

Intermittent diet: In a month you lose more than three kilos

The volunteers who participated in the study and followed this diet for a month, lost more than three kilos, while they lost weight even when the days they ate, the amount of food they consumed was 30% more than usual. is that even with the extra food on the days they ate normally, they continued to take in fewer calories altogether because they ate nothing the next day, the researchers explain.

Intermittent diet: Has no effect on the immune system

He clarified that the ADF diet does not seem to affect the immune system (at least in the specific study that was followed for a short time) and that diets based on reduced caloric intake can slow down the functioning of the immune system.

Intermittent diet: Our physiology is familiar with the alternation of hunger - overeating

"The result may be due to evolutionary biology," Madeo said. "Our physiology is familiar with periods of hunger followed by phases of over-consumption." Only in modern history have people had such an abundance of food that they have to cut calories to maintain their weight, he added. Intermittent fasting diets have become very popular in recent years as they are followed by celebrities such as Beyonce, Jimmy Kimmel et al. There are many variations besides ADF. Some eat some days of the week and the rest do not eat or eat little. Others limit the number of hours they can eat, e.g. 7 p.m. to 7 pm The new study involved 60 healthy non-obese adults. Most were slightly overweight at the start of the study.

Half of them ate day after day for a month. That is, over a period of 48 hours, they ate only during a period of 12 hours. Consumption during this period was not restricted. The other 30 people ate as usual, without restrictions. Those who fasted intermittently lost an average of 4,5% of their weight, while those who continued to eat normally gained about 250 grams.

In addition to weight loss, those who took intermittent fasting reduced risk factors for heart disease, such as cholesterol. Despite the positive findings of the study, the researchers do not currently recommend intermittent fasting diets to everyone, as their long-term effects are unknown.
