There’s been a ton of research around intermittent fasting over the past few years, but the latest evidence suggests that it can lead to similar weight loss results as a calorie-restricted diet. But intermittent fasting may have an edge in some areas, including helping you lose certain types of fat.

A team of scientists has shown that intermittent fasting (reducing the number of hours of intake and extending the hours of fasting each day) is an effective method for losing weight and improves cardiovascular health in people with obesity problems.

A study by UGR and UPNA highlights early fasting (5 p.m.–9 a.m.) as a safe, effective method for weight loss and improved glucose regulation. Early fasting reduced subcutaneous abdominal fat and improved overnight glucose levels.
