Intermittent fasting effective for gut health and weight loss

A study suggests combining intermittent fasting with protein pacing, evenly spacing out protein intake throughout the day, is effective for weight loss and improving gut health. Compared to simple calorie restriction, this approach led to greater increases in beneficial gut bacteria, reduced belly fat, and improved metabolic markers.

This study highlights the promise of intermittent fasting and protein pacing for enhancing gut function and weight management. It also underscores the fascinating interplay between diet, the microbiome, and metabolism.

The best intermittent fasting approach is the 16/8 method where you fast for 16h and eat within a window of 8h.
