Today’s CHEATCODE: A Very Powerful Weight Loss Tool
Weight loss is the most common reason for people to try intermittent fasting
By making you eat fewer meals, intermittent fasting leads to an automatic reduction in calorie intake (calorie deficit)
Additionally, intermittent fasting changes hormone levels to facilitate weight loss.
Fasting increases the release of the fat burning hormone norepinephrine
Because of these changes in hormones, short-term fasting may increase your metabolic rate by 3.6–14%
By helping you eat fewer and burn more calories, intermittent fasting causes weight loss by changing both sides of the calorie equation.
Studies show that intermittent fasting can be a very powerful weight loss tool.
A 2014 review study found that this eating pattern can cause 3–8% weight loss over 3–24 weeks, which is a significant amount, compared to most weight loss studies
According to the same study, people also lost 4–7% of their waist circumference, indicating a significant loss of harmful belly fat that builds up around your organs and causes disease
Another study showed that intermittent fasting causes less muscle loss than the more standard method of continuous calorie restriction
However, keep in mind that the main reason for its success is that intermittent fasting helps you eat fewer calories overall. If you binge and eat massive amounts during your eating periods, you may not lose any weight at all.
