A new study has found an alternative to calorie restriction for weight loss
Sadly, not many of us will be able to say we've never restricted calories. Whether it's to curb a larger appetite, for a big occasion or before, or after, a beach holiday, counting, or cutting, calories is supposedly one of the most straight forward ways to lose weight.
As part of the trial 60 participants alternated 36 hours of zero-calorie intake with 12 hours of unlimited eating, and the findings have been reported in journalThe trial's author Slaven Stekovic found in the clinic that alternate day fasting is a much simpler alternative to calorie restriction and provokes similar improvements on cardiovascular parameters and body composition.
For anyone who does count calories this might come as a welcome relief. Adding up calories can be time consuming, addictive, and mean that we opt for foods that are lower in calorie rather than beneficial for us in terms of the nutrition they provide.
