Diet/Weight loss

Diet/Nutrition/Weight loss: A recent medical research article compared intermittent energy restriction diet (500-600kcal/d) followed for 2 nonconsecutive days per week (participants followed their usual diet for the other 5 days) or a continuous energy restriction diet (1200-1500 kcal/d) followed for 7 days per week. Intermittent energy restriction is an effective alternative diet strategy for the reduction comparable to continuous energy restriction and it may be superior to continuous energy restriction for weight reduction. The study was done on diabetics. This may or not apply to the general population.
