Myth Buster Series 5️⃣
Intermittent fasting is often sold as a metabolism-boosting, fat-burning shortcut 🔥 but the science says otherwise.
Research shows that intermittent fasting does not significantly increase metabolism compared to regular calorie-controlled eating patterns 📊. Fat loss happens when there is a consistent calorie deficit over time, whether that comes from fasting, balanced meals 🥗, portion control 🍽️, or improved food quality.
There’s no unique metabolic advantage to fasting, sustainable habits still do the heavy lifting 💪
