Intermittent fasting may not be as beneficial for weight loss as you may believe, according to new research.
A study published on Wednesday in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that eating within a specific time frame was not as effective for weight management. Rather, frequency and size of meals was a stronger factor in weight loss or gain than the time between first and last meal.
In fact, academics found that eating fewer and smaller meals overall may be better for shedding pounds, suggesting that the best way to lose weight is to simply eat less with fewer large meals.
