Is Intermittent Fasting Good For Weight Loss? (What The Science Says)

Around the same time that I started the Keto diet (3 months ago), I’ve been doing intermittent fasting every day for 16 hours per day.

2. Intermittent Fasting reduces Hunger

In the first few days of intermittent fasting, you’ll probably notice more hunger since your body isn’t used to using stored body fat for energy.

However, once your body has adapted, it’s surprisingly easy to go for long periods of time without food.

This helps with weight loss in 2 ways:

  1. The more “adapted” to intermittent fasting you are, the longer you can go without food resulting in even lower Insulin levels and more fat burning
  2. By being less hungry, you’ll probably eat less calories per day which means your body will use more stored fat as energy to meet your caloric needs

(Although this article is focused on weight loss, I’ve noticed more stable energy levels when I’m less hungry too.)
