A new article from DetoxDieter.org examines the pros and cons of intermittent fasting eating plans.(Newswire.net — January 28, 2014) — A new focus on intermittent fasting, specifically the 4:3 diet, has drawn new attention to the benefit of periodic fasting for weight loss. A new informative article from DetoxDieter.org examines benefits and drawbacks associated with intermittent fasting.It seems that people looking to lose extra fat are turning to intermittent fasting on a more frequent basis. By definition, intermittent fasting refers to consuming a set amount of calories during a specific time period, and not eating at all the rest of the time. As example, the 5:2 fasting plan encourages people to eat normally for five days, then fasting for the remaining two days a week.If intermittent fasting plans are shown to be a positive way to lose weight, they could prove to be a real health benefit for men. Research demonstrates that these eating plans appear to be popular and preferred by men.
