A review of 22 randomized clinical trials involving nearly 2,000 adults found that intermittent fasting produced similar weight loss results to traditional dietary advice, with participants losing approximately 3% to 7% of their body weight over 6 to 12 months.

The Cochrane review analyzed various forms of intermittent fasting, including alternate-day fasting, the 5:2 diet, and time-restricted eating, across studies conducted in North America, Europe, China, Australia and South America.

Researchers emphasized that sustainable weight loss results come from overall calorie intake and nutritional patterns rather than fasting itself, with experts recommending that any dietary approach be combined with regular exercise for long-term benefits.
