#Imf

A new study highlights a simpler path to weight loss: the 4:3 intermittent fasting (IMF) routine. Researchers found IMF may outperform traditional daily caloric restriction, offering a practical option for steady progress. Participants restricted calories on three non-consecutive days each week and ate normally on the other days, prioritizing healthier choices.

The findings suggest IMF can support long-term weight management. On average, participants following the 4:3 IMF lost about 7.6% of body weight over a year, compared with about 5% for daily caloric restriction. Beyond the numbers, IMF appeared more sustainable for many, thanks to its less rigid structure and easier weekly rhythm.
