The Truth About Intermittent Fasting in 60 Seconds #SHORTS

Although many of us have heard of intermittent fasting, most people use the term incorrectly. Intermittent fasting, in its most strict form, is undergoing a fast of at least 24 hours at some frequency, i.e. intermittently. What most people are actually referring to when they talk about IF is time-restricted feeding, where you limit the hours during which you eat each day to a feeding window. The most popular schedules are 16:8, meaning you fast for 16 hours of the day and only eat during the remaining 8 hours of the day, and also 18:6. But semantics aside, are intermittent fasting and time-restricted feeding good for you? According to research, IF and TRF will not help you lose more weight than traditional methods of caloric restriction; however, they do appear to be superior at preserving lean muscle mass when losing weight. Other benefits include improvements in fasting blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, and other markers of cardiometabolic health. IF and TRF have also been associated with reductions in various markers of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress which may help prevent heart disease in the long term.
