Study: Fasting as Effective as Calorie Counting

A fascinating new study published yesterday shows that intermittent fasting where dieters refrain from eating during a certain period of the day is as effective as counting calories. And that study looked at 77 people who were overweight and the participants were split between those who ate between noon and eight PM. While others reduced their calorie intake by about 25%. So after six months, both those groups managed to maintain their weight loss. But after a year, the fasting group kept off the weight more suggesting that it could be a simpler alternative out there for dieters.
