If weight loss is obtained through calorie restriction the metabolistic slowdown usually results in eventual weight gain, or eternal hunger.

10 years ago | Likes 22 Dislikes 8

Intermittent Fasting aims to maintain metabolism, whether you fast daily or do alternate days, it's good for almost all body types.

10 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 3

Though if you drink a lot of fizzy drink and eat a lot of carbs, no matter your size you should cut that out. It's bad for your insulin.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Calorie restriction is the only way to achieve weight loss. Metabolic slowdown eventually returns to the expected for a given weight/height

https://authoritynutrition.com/intermittent-fasting-guide/ It's not the only way.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

That article states intermittent fasting is successful in weight loss largely because it forces calorie restriction

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It forces a non-traditional calorie restriction, yes, but that's not why the weight loss is better in many ways.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

I'm considering it different to calorie restriction as you can induce fat loss while eating same cals on a 6:18 diet.

It's true that weight loss results in lower than expected metabolism for years sometimes. It's a consequence of ever becoming overweight :(

It's a consequence of starvation, if you're average + restrict your metabolism will increase. It's how yo-yo diets start.
