Eating Less Beats Intermittent Fasting for Weight Loss, Study Says

Eating smaller meals and cutting calories is a more effective way to manage weight than intermittent fasting, when consumption is restricted to a narrow window of time.

That’s the conclusion of researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine who studied the eating, sleeping and waking patterns of 547 adults over a six-month period. Their findings appear Wednesday in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
