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. The research published in Journal of the American Heart Association found fewer, small meals were associated with dropping weight.
