Researchers found that intermittent fasting — or time-restricted eating, sometimes for up to 18 hours, aiming to shed pounds — did not actually lead to any more weight loss for obese people than daily calorie caps. “A regimen of time-restricted eating was not more beneficial with regard to reduction in body weight, body fat or metabolic risk factors than daily calorie restriction,” the study authors wrote. It’s not the first time intermittent fasting, which often sees dieters forgoing food and eating only in a 6- or 8-hour window, has been lambasted for being a dieting dud. A 2020 study by researchers from the University of California at San Francisco found that, compared to people who ate normally, fasters only lost a half-pound more in 12 weeks. For the latest study, researchers from Southern Medical University in Guangzhou, China, followed 139 patients with obesity, giving some calorie restriction as well as time-restricted eating — only between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. — or others with daily calorie restriction alone for 12 months. Both groups were instructed to eat a balanced diet — 1,500 to 1,800 calories per day for men and 1,200 to 1,500 calories for women. While some weight was lost — about 14 to 18 pounds on average for both groups — it was hardly a stark difference between the time-restricted group and the calorie-counting subjects. Plus, there wasn’t much of a difference in BMI, waist circumference, body fat or metabolic risk factors, either. “Changes in weight were not significantly different in the two groups at the 12-month assessment,” the authors wrote. Practices of intermittent fasting vary, but many plans involve not eating for up to 18 hours a day. “It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” registered dietitian Tammy Beasley told The Post. “I wish intermittent fasting had a warning stamped on it.” Getty Images/iStockphoto While there has been some positive, but mixed, research about intermittent fasting regarding longevity or type 2 diabetes patients, many who have dabbled with the popularized diet have criticized the practice for nearly ruining their lives and causing debilitating eating disorders. Last year, registered dietitian Tammy Beasley told The Post of her horror story with the diet, and how it led to severe anorexia and orthorexia, or an obsessive focus on eating in a healthy way. “It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” Beasley said. “I wish intermittent fasting had a warning stamped on it.” Eating disorder treatment clinic Center for Discovery agreed, warning that fasting can indeed work, but it comes with consequences. “Yes, it is possible to lose calories, fat and weight from this popular diet,” the nationwide clinic wrote. “However, it is also possible to quickly gain the weight back, develop low energy stores which can result in a depressed mood, have problems sleeping and even develop organ damage if the fasting is extreme.”

Read More »Myth or Fact: If you cut down on your food intake, you'll eventually shrink your stomach so you won't be as hungry. Answer: Myth. Once you are an adult, your stomach pretty much remains the same size -- unless you have surgery to intentionally make it smaller.
From those burning, churning feelings that erupt whenever we eat our favorite foods, to the bloating that keeps us from zipping up our jeans, to the gas that can make us the most unpopular person in the elevator, our stomach can be the cause of some major inconveniences, if not some outright health concerns. Still, experts say most folks know painfully little about how their stomach and their digestive tract operates -- one reason that solving tummy troubles can seem much harder than it has to be. "There are some very popular misconceptions concerning stomach health, most of which can really lead people astray on how to effectively deal with certain problems," says Mark Moyad, MD, director of preventive and alternative medicine at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor. David Greenwald, MD, agrees. "Sometimes what seems like a complex, difficult or even frightening problem really is a simple one, with a simple solution, if you can separate the myths from the facts," says Greenwald, an associate professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center in New York City. To help set the record straight, Greenwald, Moyad, and NYU director of pediatric gastroenterology Joseph Levy, MD, helped WebMD prepare the following gut-busting challenge. Try to separate the myths from the facts to see how much you really know about how to keep your tummy healthy and happy.
