Introduction

If you’ve been trying to lose weight, you’ve probably heard of the popular diet known as “Eat This Not That.” This diet has been around for years and has been touted as an effective way to lose weight quickly. However, a new study has found that this diet may not be as effective as it claims. The study found that while the diet may help you lose weight in the short term, it is not sustainable in the long term and may even lead to weight gain. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the study and discuss why this popular diet may not be the best choice for weight loss.

This Popular Diet Doesn’t Actually Work, Says New Study — Eat This Not That

A new study has revealed that a popular diet doesn’t actually work as well as people think it does. The diet, which has been gaining traction in recent years, has been touted as a way to lose weight quickly and easily. However, the study found that the diet was not as effective as people had hoped.

The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, looked at the effects of the diet on a group of people who had been following it for six months. The researchers found that the dieters had not lost any more weight than those who had not been following the diet. In fact, the dieters had actually gained some weight.

The researchers concluded that the diet was not as effective as people had thought it was. They suggested that people should focus on eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly in order to achieve their weight loss goals.

The study also found that the dieters had higher levels of cholesterol and triglycerides than those who had not been following the diet. This could be a sign that the diet was not providing the necessary nutrients for good health.

The researchers concluded that the diet was not a good option for those looking to lose weight. They suggested that people should focus on eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly in order to achieve their weight loss goals.

If you are looking to lose weight, it is important to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Different diets work for different people, and it is important to find the one that works best for you. Eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly are the best ways to achieve your weight loss goals.

When focusing on weight loss, there are so many diets and habits to help you reach your goals. However, with all the types of diets and foods, how do you know what’s the right option for you? You’re then trying all these different methods because you hear about celebrity weight loss, or a new trend or popular diet. It seems like finding a way to lose weight is overwhelming.

Well now there’s one diet you can eliminate from your options. According to a study done by the New England Journal of Medicine, the intermittent fasting diet does not actually work. In fact, it is no more effective than simply just counting your calories.

In the study, researchers randomly assigned 139 patients with obesity to a time-restricted eating schedule, also known as intermittent fasting, as well as calorie restrictions. The group with a restricted eating schedule was allowed to only eat between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The other group just had a daily calorie restriction without having to eat during a given time frame. For 12 months, both groups had to follow a calorie-restricted diet that consisted of 1,500 to 1,800 calories per day for men and 1,200 to 1,500 calories per day for women.

118 of the 139 participants completed the 12-month follow-up visit. The average weight loss in the time-restriction group was 8.0 kg, and 6.3 kg for the daily-calorie-restriction group. Results of analyses also took waist circumferences, BMI, body fat, body lean mass, blood pressure, and metabolic risk factors into consideration.

This showed that among patients with obesity, a regimen of time-restricted eating was not more beneficial with regard to loss of body weight, body fat, or metabolic risk factors than daily calorie restriction.

In addition, there were no substantial differences between the groups in the number of unexpected medical problems that happened during the study.

This study backs up previous research from JAMA Internal Medicine. In a very similar study, researchers conducted a randomized clinical trial that contained 116 adults who were overweight or obese.

The researchers concluded that time-restricted eating was associated with a very little weight decrease of 1.17%.  This was not significantly different from the decrease in the control group, who lost 0.75%. This showed that time-restricted eating did not show weight loss or benefits to cardiometabolic diseases– a spectrum of conditions ranging from insulin resistance to metabolic syndrome and pre-diabetes, to more severe conditions such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
