Debating if you should start a diet or stick to an exercise pattern to lose weight? It's worth considering combining the two, as a new study suggests that integrating intermittent fasting with high-intensity workouts is the most effective strategy for fat loss and improved cardiometabolic health.
Intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating controls the time frame in which individuals can eat, but does not restrict the types of food they consume. Under this popular weight loss regimen, individuals could alternate between periods of eating and fasting by following the 16/8 method (fasting for 16 hours and then eating during an eight-hour window), or the 14/10 method (a 14-hour fast followed by a 10-hour eating window).
