Research suggests that alternate-day fasting is about as effective as a typical low-calorie diet for weight loss. Fasting also affects metabolic processes in the body that may work to decrease inflammation, as well as improve blood sugar regulation and physical stress response. Therefore, if it suits you, you can use fasting to lose weight.
