Obesity Management and Intermittent Fasting

Studies have proven that intermittent fasting has a very excellent effect on obese patients specially those who are suffering from Insulin Resistance. On the long run it improves the sensitivity of insulin so that it reduces the fat deposition resulting from insulin resistance. On the other hand, it prevents the loss of muscle mass which is responsible to a big extent on the metabolism which is strongly needed not to be affected as the obese patient will spend a long time recovering from obesity and he needs a very good BMR to help him achieve good results through his weight loss journey.
