16:8 Fasting Holds Weight Loss for a Year | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

New research reveals that the 16:8 intermittent fasting method may help people maintain weight loss for a full year—even after stopping the program. Study participants who ate within an eight-hour window lost more weight and body fat compared to those eating over a 12-hour period, with no significant difference between early (9 a.m.–5 p.m.) or late (1 p.m.–9 p.m.) eating windows. About one-third of participants continued fasting on their own, showing its potential as a sustainable, flexible habit for long-term weight management.
