Is intermittent fasting the best way to lose weight?
The hype is real but this study had interesting insights: Effects of Time-Restricted Eating on Weight Loss and Other Metabolic Parameters in Women and Men With Overweight and Obesity: The TREAT Randomized Clinical Trial
What was the study about?
Across a 12-week period, 116 adults were studied
Key Findings:
1. The group on the time-restricted eating between 12pm and 8pm were overall less active than the 3-meal group.
2. No significant difference between groups with regard to weight (even though the TRF group lost weight.)
3. No significant difference in markers of metabolic health, such as blood pressure, lipids, glucose, and insulin.
What this means for you?
1. Weight loss is directly related to the numbers of calories consumed over when they are consumed.
2. Metabolic markers or health markers donโt see a significant change with the time-restricted eating.
3. Since both groups didnโt show a significant difference in weight, it is better to follow an eating pattern that fits your lifestyle and creates a deficit.
4. Weight loss can be achieved by simply being in a deficit. Here is a reel that will help you understand what a deficit is.

Tip of the week
Protein is the key nutrient to health and weight loss.
Start off with adding protein in each meal.
Here is a sample menu with linked recipes to help you ideate and create interesting meals for you and your family.
Each meal has a source of protein to show you how easy it can be.
We hope you enjoy this sneak peak sample menu.
We will be sharing these on our whatsapp community regularly from this coming month.
