For the purposes of one scientific review, called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/26374764\">Effects of Intermittent Fasting on Body Composition and Clinical Health Markers in Humans<\/a>, the researchers looked at the data gathered from several 3 to 12 week studies, involving individuals who were fasting on alternate days.<\/p>\n<p>The data showed a body weight reduction of 3% to 7%. The data gathered from similar trials, conducted over 12 to 21 week periods, was even more promising because body weight was reduced by up to 9%.<\/p>\n<p>However, some research offers conflicting results, so intermittent fasting is not a guaranteed way to lose weight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irealherbs.com\/blogs\/articles\/boosting-testosterone-with-intermittent-fasting\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2915 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.slimmersweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Intermittent_Fasting.jpg\" alt=\"Intermittent Fasting\" width=\"500\" height=\"635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmersweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Intermittent_Fasting.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.slimmersweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Intermittent_Fasting-236x300.jpg 236w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Intermittent_Fasting_Can_Sometimes_Fail_to_Provide_Weight_Loss\"><\/span>Why Intermittent Fasting Can Sometimes Fail to Provide Weight Loss<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2918\" src=\"http:\/\/www.slimmersweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Hungry-woman-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Woman hungry\" width=\"268\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmersweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Hungry-woman-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.slimmersweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Hungry-woman-452x300.jpg 452w, https:\/\/www.slimmersweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Hungry-woman.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\" \/>So why doesn&#8217;t intermittent fasting work for everyone? It can simply come down to a matter of maths.<\/p>\n<p>As with any other weight loss technique, people who make a serious commitment to losing weight will generally obtain better results than those who do not.<\/p>\n<p>The average man generally requires 2,500 calories per day. His female counterpart requires 2,000 calories per day. On days when the body receives little or no food most of those calories will have to come from burned body fat.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds pretty good, doesn&#8217;t it? However, if the average man decides to pig-out on the day following his fast, or simply makes unwise food choices that results in the body receiving 2,500 calories more than it needs, or 1,250 extra calories per day for the next two days, it will be a stalemate.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing will have changed and a few extra calories more will result in weight gain. Think getting so many extra calories would be hard? Think again. A single McDonald&#8217;s Double Whopper with Cheese (no fries, sides, or shake) can deliver a whopping 1,070 calories.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_Intermittent_Fasting_Routines\"><\/span>Some Intermittent Fasting Routines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many intermittent fasting routines. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slimmersweekly.com\/52-diet-review-does-it-really-live-up-to-the-hype\"><strong>5:2 Diet<\/strong><\/a> is probably one of the most popular ones.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an eat-stop-eat type diet plan. 5:2 Dieters are allowed to eat normally for five days per week but are not allowed to eat much at all on their two fast days.<\/p>\n<p>Men are allowed a maximum of 600 calories per fast day and women have to survive on only 500 calories (five apples would provide this).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Random Meal Skipping<\/strong> is a less drastic type of intermittent fasting.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just a case of skipping random meals once or twice per week. So if someone skipped their dinner they would eat nothing all evening and go to bed hungry.<\/p>\n<p>If they chose to skip their breakfast they would eat nothing all morning and lunch would be their first meal of the day. However, processed foods are strictly no go with the Random Meal Skipping diet.<\/p>\n<p>At the other end of the scale, people following the <strong>Warrior Diet<\/strong> plan either avoid food entirely or eat a minuscule amount for the first 20 hours of the day and schedule their workouts to fall within this foodless period.<\/p>\n<p>Normal eating is allowed during the remaining four hours of the day. Most people who choose this route prefer to schedule their feeding period for late afternoon\/evening so they can eat with their families.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Intermittent_Fasting_Pros_and_Cons\"><\/span>Intermittent Fasting Pros and Cons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"226\"><strong>The Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>May decreased the likelihood of type 2 diabetes<\/li>\n<li>Boosts human growth hormone<\/li>\n<li>Improved healing abilities<\/li>\n<li>Encourages a faster metabolism<\/li>\n<li>May help you live longer<\/li>\n<li>Lowers cholesterol<\/li>\n<li>Can help you to lose weight-loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"226\"><strong>The Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Feelings of Hunger<\/li>\n<li>Dehydration<\/li>\n<li>Changes to bowel movement<\/li>\n<li>Heartburn<\/li>\n<li>Headaches<\/li>\n<li>Stress\/anxiety<\/li>\n<li>Lethargy<\/li>\n<li>Missed periods<\/li>\n<li>Early menopause<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_Summary\"><\/span>In Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that consists of eating and fasting according to a chosen schedule.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of food on fast days can result in an increased need for fat burning that may result in weight loss, but any weight lost can be quickly replaced if too many calories are consumed on non fast days. This is why some people find intermittent fasting is not as effective as they hoped it would be.<\/p>\n<p>Although going without food on a regular basis in this way is believed to offer several health benefits other than weight loss, it can also cause health problems, including lethargy, and headaches.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2914\" src=\"http:\/\/www.slimmersweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/appetite-suppressants1-300x215.jpg\" alt=\"Appetite suppressants\" width=\"248\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmersweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/appetite-suppressants1-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.slimmersweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/appetite-suppressants1-419x300.jpg 419w, https:\/\/www.slimmersweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/appetite-suppressants1.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/>Hunger is also likely to be an issue.
