In this health Q&A, Dr. Darren Green addresses a common question: Does intermittent fasting help with weight loss? He explains that weight regulation comes down to energy in versus energy out, if you consume more energy than you burn, the body stores it as fat, often around the belly.
He highlights that many people underestimate the role of metabolism. The body’s metabolic rate is influenced by how frequently we eat. Skipping meals, especially breakfast, can slow metabolism and encourage the body to store energy instead of burning it. By contrast, eating smaller, more frequent meals signals the body that food is consistently available, reducing the urge to “hold on” to calories.
Dr. Green notes that fasting often leads to initial weight loss, largely due to water reduction, but warns that the weight usually returns quickly. He advises against relying on fasting as a long-term weight loss method. Instead, he emphasizes balanced nutrition, regular meals, and consistent exercise as healthier and more sustainable strategies.
