New research has cast doubt over the effectiveness of intermittent fasting helping weight loss.
Scientists at John Hopkins University in the US monitored the dietary habits of over 500 adults over a six year period. They found that time restricted eating had little influence in terms of weight loss compared to traditional diets.
Intermittent fasting has become increasingly popular over the years thanks to celebrity influence. The trend, which involves abstaining from food at certain points in the day, has been promoted by figures such as Jennifer Aniston, Kourtney Kardashian and Scarlett Johannson, reports Hull Live.
