Intermittent Fasting Beats Isocaloric Continuous Dieting (Fat Loss & Health) | New Study + Research Update 12/18

Written by | published on

Is intermittent dieting the better form of dieting? Results are promising, but far from conclusive - even in 2018. Check out the latest study in Obesity  and selected research from '18, now! Let's get this straight, right away. The lion's share of the currently available literature on intermittent fasting vs. continuous dietary restriction suggests that "[i]ntermittent energy restriction [is] comparable to continuous energy restriction for short-term weight loss in overweight and obese adults" ( Harris 2018 ). And yes, there are numerous studies suggesting that intermittent (IER) is even superior to regular, continuous energy restriction (CER).

Intermittent Fasting Increases 24h Energy Expenditure, But Skipping Breakfast Linked to Reduced Metabolic Flexibility

"To eat or not to eat breakfast?" Unfortunately, the scientists geared their research pretty much to this question. Alright, you all have read my recent Facebook news post  about the reduced energy expenditure students reported in a hitherto unpublished paper. Those of you who have (rightly) pointed out that this was at best preliminary evidence (which is, by the way, exactly what I pointed out, as well), will now feel vindicated: Scientists from the German  University of Hohenheim  report that "when compared with the 3-meal control, 24-h energy expenditure was higher" with a meal-skipping regimen that had a lot of similarity to what many of you will practice and label "intermittent fasting".

Unless your breakfast looks like this, the study does not mean that you can no longer have breakfast. If you're following the SuppVersity  news, you may remember a post from Wednesday in which I outlined that it is no wonder people fail to lose the weight they intend to, because they try to achieve this weight loss by having soup or, you guessed it, finally doing what the mainstream nutrition experts' cookie-cutter approaches suggest and.. have breakfast, every day . What actually happens to those who fall for the epidemiological bullsh*t science that's trying to extrapolate causal relationships from observational (often unreliable) data has now been demonstrated by a group of US scientists. Believe it or not, Gabrielle Marie LeCheminant et al. are the first researchers to actually experimentally investigated how starting to have breakfast voluntarily will affect your energy intake and weight trajectory.

Are Six Meals Better Than Two? Recent Study Shows Lean Mass Gains on Std. Energy-Reduced Diet W/Out Differences in Fat Loss W/ 6 vs. 2 Meals/Day - Do You Have to React?

Do the results of the latest randomized controlled cross-over study from the California State University  mean that you have to change your eating habits? Find out in today's SuppVersity Article! If you are a SuppVersity reader you know that the scientific evidence that eating four meals instead of two when dieting is scarce. More recently, there have actually been more studies to suggest that eating very frequently like 6+ meals per day may eventually ruin your dieting efforts because (a) the constant grazing won't allow your insulin levels to drop and (b) people tend to eat "a little too much" with each of these meals, so that - eventually - they are missing their target energy intakes. Now, an ahead of print article in the peer-reviewed scientific journal  Nutrition Research  suggests that, in a tightly controlled scenario and with significantly overweight, not to say obese women as subjects, an increase in food frequency from two to six meals per day can  hav...
