More and more people swear by intermittentfasting, which involves alternating periods of eating with periods of fasting, spread over set time periods.
Interestingly — and curiously — the rankings differ when it comes to the most poplar diets people have tried. The low-carbohydrate diet comes at the top of the list , followed by intermittent fasting , clean eating , keto and vegetarianism .This difference could be explained by the constraints imposed by the most ‘effective’ diets in the eyes of the Americans, which might affect their ability to keep them up long term.
She adds: “Dieting is also a major predictor of weight gain. Most people who lose a significant amount of body weight will gain the weight back ‘plus tax,’ because the body perceives weight loss as starvation and will drive its set-point higher to protect against perceived famine.”Sculpting one’s body, or trying to achieve certain beauty stereotypes, are not among the priorities of Americans when they start a diet.
Last but not least, the survey found that dieting is not without risk, or at least without consequence. This finding is a reminder of the need to consult a health professional in case of not only intermittent fasting but long-term dieting.
