Many long-term, complex and maximally controlled studies have been performed in this regard. I&#039;ll tell you about one of them.<\/p><p>Two test groups - both men aged 25-54 with a significant stage of obesity and a sedentary lifestyle.<\/p><p>The first group was in continuous 33% kcal deficiency for 16 weeks, and the second group was also deficient in the same 33% kcal deficiency, but after every 2 weeks the caloric deficiency was increased to a \u201cweight-maintaining\u201d regimen and maintained a \u201cweight-maintaining\u201d regimen for 2 weeks. Respectively, both groups \u201clost weight\u201d for 16 weeks, but one group finished after 16 weeks, and the other with the \u201cweight-maintaining\u201d regimen after 30 weeks.<\/p><p>The percentage distribution of nutrients was the same for both groups - 15-20% OB \/ 50-60 % OH \/ 25-30% T. Food was delivered to the participants, thus providing all participants with exactly the same amount of calories and nutrients. Before starting a particular &#039;diet&#039;, all participants first went through a 4-week weight stabilization phase with an individualized caloric intake for each participant. Thus, in terms of control and fairness, a cleaner experiment is hard to even imagine.<\/p><p><strong>Results<\/strong><\/p><p>The group with a continuous \u201cdiet\u201d lost 3.8 kg less weight (8.1 kg \/ 11.9 kg) and 3 kg less fat directly (7 kg \/ 10 kg) than the group with a \u201cweight-maintaining\u201d diet break. mode. After the diet, all participants went through an 8-week weight stabilization phase. after which they were released into &quot;free swimming&quot; for 6 months. After 6 months, the group of participants in the \u201ccontinuous\u201d diet had gained significantly more weight than the members of the group in the \u201cdiscontinued\u201d diet. Respectively 5.9kg \/ 3kg. Convincing, isn&#039;t it?<\/p><p><strong>Conclusions<\/strong><\/p><p>In the long run, intermittent weight loss is more effective in weight loss and is especially effective in reducing fat mass and has significantly less weight loss. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yo-yo_effect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">yo-yo effect<\/a>. However, do not rejoice too fast - the interrupted method does not mean that you can eat as much as you want during the &quot;break&quot;. Even during the &quot;break&quot; period, dietary restrictions remain - do not consume more calories than your body consumes.<\/p><p>With love
