Chicago [US]: Although intermittent fasting has been proven to be a successful weight loss method, some have expressed concern that it might harm women's reproductive hormones. Recently, a group of researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago published a study on obesity that adds new information to the debate.
Eight weeks were spent monitoring a group of pre- and post-menopausal obese women who were using the "warrior diet" technique of intermittent fasting, under the direction of researchers led by Krista Varady, professor of nutrition at UIC.
