Researchers Say 16:8 Diet May Help Obese Individuals Lose Weight.

reports that in a 23-participant study, researchers “demonstrated the weight loss benefits of the 16:8 diet for obese individuals.” That diet, “a type of intermittent fasting (IF), involves 16-hour fasts followed by 8 hours of eating anything you want.” Beverages without calories are allowed “during the fasting period,” but no food. After 12 weeks on the diet, participants were “found to have lost weight” and to have had lower blood pressure. The findings were published in the journal Nutrition and Healthy Aging. https://www.medicaldaily.com/168-diet-may-help-lose-weight-what-are-risks-424924
