For weight loss without GLP-1 drugs, surgery or calorie counting, intermittent fasting has become a trendy option to try. Even Elon Musk says he's been fasting periodically and some members of our Start TODAY group credit the eating style with helping them lose weight. There are several ways to do it, but the 16:8 plan is a popular option. It's a version of time-restricted eating, which divides the day into periods of fasting and eating.
Eating fewer calories is commonly prescribed as the first line of defense in Type 2 diabetes treatment, but many patients struggle with it so time-restricted eating may offer a 'refreshing alternative,' the paper notes. There were no serious adverse events reported during the trial, so the study shows intermittent fasting is safe in this population group, Varady says. But she advises people with diabetes to always check with their doctors before starting time-restricted eating.
