Individual Variability in Intermittent Fasting Benefits
Intermittent fasting's purported benefits such as autophagy, mTOR signaling reduction, and increased satiety are not consistent across the population. Research indicates that intermittent fasting does not provide additional benefits beyond calorie restriction. Continuous calorie restriction and intermittent fasting yield similar outcomes in terms of weight loss and long-term health benefits. The variability in claims about intermittent fasting arises from the diverse interpretations and selective reading of research. The issue lies in the wide range of peer-reviewed research available, which allows for contradictory claims and interpretations.
