#Caloriedeficit

A new study from the University of Colorado School of Medicine suggests intermittent fasting (IMF) may outperform traditional calorie-restricted diets for weight loss. Over 12 months, participants following a 4:3 fasting pattern lost an average 7.6% of their body weight, compared with a 5% average loss in the calorie restriction group.

For Thai readers navigating a crowded weight-loss landscape, IMF offers a practical alternative. The 4:3 plan allows unrestricted meals on four days each week and significantly reduced calories on three non-consecutive days. Beyond weight loss, the regimen improved cardiometabolic markers, including systolic blood pressure, cholesterol, and fasting glucose.
