– How and why does the intermittent fasting style of food management or dieting work exactly?

Question

Does the diet have any impact on how fast your metabolism is working or does it not at all change or interfere with the total calories in and total calories out science of burning fat and losing weight?

Is intermittent fasting only based on psychological management of your eating habits?

Answer 1

I don’t know that there’s any solid evidence that intermittent fasting “works,” unless you define exactly what you mean by “works.”

It apparently doesn’t do much for sustained weight loss (unless combined with other weight loss approaches), and I doubt there’s been any meaningful research about its effect on, say, happiness or longevity.
