Is intermittent fasting based on solid science and if so how does it work?
In: Chemistry
Yes and no.
Intermittent fasting is about making your body use more energy then you add by eating, so the body has to eat your existing fat.
It works. However being overweight usually is the result of other issues. For example people using food to cheer up when they are sad, or to celebrate when they are happy. Neither is wrong, but if you do it all the time you will gain weight. Of course it can also be because of medical issues.
So a lot of people diet, loose weight, stop dieting, and regain weight. So actually finding out what lead to you being overweight in the first place will be harder, but allow you to stay at your comfortable weight.
