Eating with time restrictions (intermittently starving) to lose weight implies a restriction of daily caloric intake. But sticking to certain time frames is easier than counting calories. Courtney Peterson, a nutritionist and food researcher from the University of Alabama, told Medical Xpress about this. The nutritionist said that intermittent fasting is a mode of eating when eating periods alternate with periods of strict time limits. The most common is the 16/8 scheme, which involves staying hungry for 16 hours. The expert explained that the main rule for losing weight is to increase the expenditure of calories while limiting their intake. The calculation of calories helps to correctly follow the energy intake with food. However, this method can be very complicated and require a lot of time. Intermittent fasting for weight loss is neither better nor worse than counting calories and reducing them. But the main advantage of the first method is simplicity. According to Peterson, following one principle, eating in a certain time frame, does not create an additional load on the psyche and allows you to lose weight more easily.
