One 2015 systematic review of IF for
weight management targeted six studies and reported an impressive average
weight loss of nearly 3 percent after the first
month, 9 percent after six
months, and further average
weight loss of about 8 percent after a
month of
weight maintenance.
The study is set up to be a year long, with six
months of
weight loss through alternate - day fasting, followed by six
months of
weight maintenance.
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of intermittent energy restriction (IER) compared to continuous energy restriction (CER) on
weight loss after 8 weeks and
weight loss maintenance after 12
months.
A
weight maintenance program should be a priority after the initial 6
months of
