Intermittent fasting helped people keep weight off for a year
A 12-week intermittent fasting program helped participants maintain weight loss for at least a year after the program ended. Those who limited their eating to an eight-hour window retained more weight loss than those with longer eating periods. Both early and late eating schedules were effective, with early fasting showing additional benefits in preserving fat loss. The study suggests that time-restricted eating may support long-term weight management.
