No wonder. They don't understand the purpose of intermittant fasting is to place your body into a sustained fat burning mode. Instead they used diets that were harsh on the body and glutted with caloric intake. Group 1 which fasted on alternate days with their fast day followed by a day of eating 50% more than usual. Group 2 which reduced calories across all meals everyday by 25%. Group 3 which fasted on alternate days (in the same way as Group 1) but followed their fast day with one day eating 100% more than usual. > But intermittent fasting is no magic bullet and the findings of our experiment suggest that there is nothing special about fasting when compared with more traditional, standard diets people might follow. That's because there wasn't true fasting, just shifting of eating patterns.
