Omo, we gatz yarn beta tori for dis corner. E get as people dey rush into intermittent fasting like say na magic wey go solve dem weight wahala, but new review wey come out don show say, this thing no get as e be!
So, some researchers dey gree say intermittent fasting (IF) no dey work pass traditional dieting. Na 22 clinical trials wey connect nearly 2000 people from different parts of di world like North America, Europe, China, Australia, and even South America, dem analyze. Dem check wetin dey happen when people dey fast on some days and chop regular on others.
According to di report wey come from Cochrane review, dem find say weight loss from IF no better pass if person just gree follow normal dietary advice wey involve losing calories everyday. E no even make sense at all oh!
Luis Garegnani wey na di main author for di study, talk say, “Intermittent fasting fit reasonably work for some people, but di evidence wey we get no fit support all di hype wey social media dey talk.” Na wah! Dis guy sabi talk true, as e fit make people dey expect miracle wey no dey happen.
On top dat, interviews wey dem follow put together show say many of di studies no get as dem gree follow dem well. E mean say di sample sizes dey small, and di way dem report side effects no consistent at all.
Better health experts don talk say, even if intermittent fasting fit help with some people health-wise, e still dey need better evidence to back am up for long-term benefits. Omo, na serious matter oh!
Obesity na heavy wahala for everywhere now, don dey triple since 1975. As e be now, about 2.5 billion adults dey either overweight or obese worldwide! Na serious stats be that!
Dem also talk say dis study mainly dey involve white population from high-income countries, and e fit no reflect wetin dey hapun for low and middle-income countries wey dey face di obesity wahala, too. E mean say, researchers gatz do more work for these other populations.
For dem wey wan try intermittent fasting, dem advise say make you check wetin work for your body and make you dey adjust well. Di way wey fit work for one person no go work for another. No be all trick dey fit all soldier, abeg!
At di end of di day, wetin important na sey, make you ensure say you dey eat proper food, dey take exercise, and no dey lean on any one method as di only solution. Obesity no be joke matter, we gatz handle am with sense! We go continue to dey observe how IF dey evolve and wetin researchers go still discover going forward.
