What’s still true, what’s overhyped, and why green tea can make it actually doable? 1. Why Intermittent Fasting? Intermittent fasting (IF) remains one of the most studied and practiced eating patterns in 2025. While the buzz hasn’t faded, the science has matured. 🧠 How IF works: Reduces overall calorie intake — the core driver of weight loss Increases insulin sensitivity, especially in overweight individuals May trigger cellular cleanup (autophagy) after 12–16 hours, though clinical significance is debated 📚 Source: Varady, K.A. et al., 2023 – Review of long-term fasting trials and weight loss outcomes 2. But What Actually Drives Weight Loss?...
