Want to lose some weight? Opt for low carb and high protein diet! This is the go-to suggestion every second person advises. But did you know this may lead to alleviation of hospital-acquired infections? A recent study says so. Published in mSystems, an open access journal of the American Society for Microbiology, the study by University of Nevada, Las Vegas, surrounded the hospital-acquired infection Clostridioides difficile. The researchers found that interaction between "antibiotic use and a high-fat/high-protein diet exacerbate C. diff infections in mice". On the other hand, their research inferred that a high carbohydrate diet nearly eliminated symptoms.

As per an ANI report, C. diff is defined as an intestinal infection which is often acquired when antibiotics wipe out the 'good' bacteria in the gut. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention termed it an urgent threat.

"Every day, we are learning more about the human microbiome and its importance in human health. The gut microbiome is strongly affected by diet, but the C. diff research community hasn't come to a consensus yet on the effects of diet on its risk or severity. Our study helps address this by testing several diets with very different macronutrient content. That is, the balance of dietary carbohydrate, protein, and fat were very different," said Brian Hedlund, a UNLV microbiologist and study co-author, as per the report.

Though the study shows that dietary protein aggravates C. diff, there's almost no existing research on the link between high-fat/high-protein diet and the infection.

However, Hedlund and the co-author of the study, Ernesto Abel-Santos, a UNLV biochemist, cautioned that the study was conducted using an animal model and that ore work is underway to establish a link between these diets and infections in human being.

A large group of doctors isurging the government to inform Viagra and Cialis users about the importance ofa plant-based diet in treating the underlying cause of erectile dysfunction(ED).

Physicians Committee forResponsible Medicine (PCRM), which is an alliance of 12,000 doctors, has filed a citizen petition with the FDA,urging the health agency to label ED drugs, such as Viagra (sildenafil) and Cialis(tadalafil), with selective information that can help users to understand theimportance of plant-based diet in erectile function.

In the United States, morethan 30 million men suffer from ED.

Considering the findings ofseveral scientific studies, PCRM says ED is often linked to poor cardiovascularhealth, which can be reversed or improved by following a healthy lifestyle,including eating plant-based foods.

PCRM doctors have urged theFDA to mention a notice on ED drugs Viagra and Cialis, which states, Erectiledysfunction is caused by artery disease, a condition that this drug will notimprove. Artery disease can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and early death. Aplant-based diet, moderate exercise, stress management, and lack of smokingcan, in combination, improve and often reverse artery disease.

The group of doctorsreferred to several scientific studies that support the association between aplant-based diet and optimal cardiovascular health, and eventually optimalerectile function.

A 2016 study published inThe American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has found that men who follow theplant-based diet are more likely to have good heart health and ultimately agood penile function.

The study looked at nearly26,000 men for a period of 10 years and found that a diet rich in fruitsreduced ED by 14 percent.

PCRM president Dr. NealBarnard said, A prescription for Viagra should include a lifesaving wake-upcall for men with ED to adopt a heart-healthy diet. Erectile dysfunction is asign of narrowed arteries throughout a mans body, including the arteries tohis heart and brain, putting him at high risk for heart attack, stroke, anddeath.

By nowyouve no doubt watched a friend pare down their diet to a narrow combination of whole foods in an effort to feel better or train harder. Elimination dietswhich include theAutoimmune Protocol,FODMAP,andWhole30, among othershave surged in popularity in recent years.

While there are many different methods and goals, the basic format is the same: limit your diet to the bare essentials (usually some combination of vegetables, fruits, lean meats, and healthy fats), and then slowly add variables back in, tracking how certain foods impact your gut, energy levels, and more. It sounds simple enough, but these diets take a lot of time and effort, make it hard to get adequate fuel for hard training and recovery, and can easily lead to physical stress.

If youre interested in pinpointing foods that stress out your system, you may not need to go all in with an elimination diet. Heres how to decide whether this might be a useful tool for youand what you need to know to do it safely.

Seventy percent of endurance athleteshave at least some gastrointestinal distress while on the move, and an elimination diet might help alleviate associated symptoms.One study found that a low-FODMAP diet, which eliminates bloat-inducing fermentable carbohydrates found in foods like cows milk, onions, and whole-wheat pasta, lessened gut symptoms for 69 percent of runners during high-intensity workouts. Another showed that while elimination diets didnt improve performance, they did improve factors like gut health and even memory.

Kylee Van Horn, an ultrarunner, a registered dietitian, and the owner ofFly Nutrition in Carbondale, Colorado, explains that a properly executed elimination diet is considered the best method for identifying food sensitivities, better than any blood test. Theyre popular among people who are dealing with irritable bowel syndrome, leaky gut, and many autoimmune conditions because they help uncover food intolerances. But plenty of people do them for weight loss or other undefined wellness goals, which arent sustainable objectives, becauseelimination diets arent permanent. Eventually, youll reintroduce most of the foods you cut outyoure just trying to identify the few that cause you intestinal distress.

Before you go all in, think about your current relationship with food: Is eliminating foods going to be triggering for you? As a rule, I dont like elimination diets, because I find that it can disturb peoples relationship with foodsand really give athletes this idea of good and bad foods, says Gemma Sampson, a sports dietitian based in Australia. If you think an elimination diet might negatively influence the way you think about food and your body, dont start.

Van Horn believes that many elimination diets work simply because they take out the obvious culprits, like processed foods and alcohol. So before you start an elimination diet, consider starting with those small shifts for a few weeks, and monitor your symptoms. Easing into eating more whole foods will make the next steps easierand may lead you to skip a full-blown elimination diet entirely. If youre still dealing with gut issues, then it might be time to consider a more restrictive protocol.

Im a huge fan of making small changes that you can sustain in the long term, like cutting down on refined sugars and alcohol, adds Sampson.You wont see results tomorrow, but all those little choices add up.

A restrictive diet can add pressure to what should be a simple, pleasant part of your day: eating. Stress leads to inflammation in the bodywhich may be what youre trying to combat in the first placeandhas been shown to increase a persons risk of disease, ranging from the common cold to autoimmune conditions. So make lifestyle changes to consciously manage it.

Ive found that some athletes need to focus on lowering stress and even cut back on training first to see how it impacts symptoms before turning to diet, says Will Cole,a functional-medicine practitioner who recently wroteThe Inflammation Spectrum. You have to look at sleep, social connections, physical environmentthere are so many other factors. You can eat all the right foods, but if you havent addressed these issues, youre still self-sabotaging.

Timing matters, too. The week before your Ironman and astressful month at work are probably not the best times to alter your meal plan. There will never be a perfect time to do this, but avoid things like the height of your season or a really tough period in your personal life, Cole says.

Van Horn recommends eating normally for two weeks and recording your diet and your symptoms.Once youve done that, take a look toassess if there are obvious food groups that correlate to any uncomfortable side effects. You can choose an elimination diet that closely aligns withthe foods that dont seem to agree with you, or try a mini-elimination diet, eliminating just one food for four to six weeks that seems to be causing issues.

If, after keeping a food journal and eliminating obvious culprits, you still feel the need to adopt a more regimented program, Van Horn and Sampson both recommend you consult a registered dietitian to offer guidance in choosing a plan and for advice following it if youll betraining. Whole30 and theAutoimmune Protocol are popular, as is the low-FODMAP diet. Van Horn recommends the low-FODMAP diet most frequently, but she notes that its also one of the hardest elimination diets to try, because the class of carbohydrate that it eliminates includes a lot of fruits and vegetables (even broccoli!) as well as gluten, processed sugars, and dairy.

Elimination diets like FODMAP are intense and hard to handle while training, Van Horn says. She recommends that you work with your dietitian to develop an adequate meal plan. Your number-one priority is getting enough calories, and it can be hard to replace staples like oats or refined sugars with foods that are equally calorically dense. Eliminating a huge amount of foods can lead to nutrient and energy deficiencies, she says.

You can also use afood-tracking app to make sure youre getting enough calories and macronutrients. Remember that the volume of food youll need to eat may be considerably higher than usual once you eliminatefoods like pasta, dairy, and refined sugar.

You dont need to take out these foods forever, you just need to figure out which ones work for you and which dont, says Van Horn. Many of the off-limits foods in the elimination diets arent bad for you. At the end, there needs to be a reintroduction phase. Thats the whole point.

When you start adding foods back in, do it slowly and specifically. Start with a single serving, give your body at least a day to show any response, and continue to keep track of your eating patterns and any effects in a journal.

More isnt better. Its not ideal to eliminate this many foods in the long term, says Sampson. Van Horn echoes her point, explaining that elimination diets are tools to use temporarily, not permanent solutions. Ultimately, trying onemay help you feelbetterbut only if you do it mindfully and tune in to what your body needs.

Much has been spoken of Henry Cavills punishing diet and exercise regimes, unsurprisingly for someone synonymous with Superman, with real-life comic-book good looks. Since taking on the role of genetically enhanced monster slayer Geralt of Rivia, The Witcher workout (involving daily fasting, cardio and weights session) has become a big search term, while his intense dehydration diet employed for shirtless scenes went viral. But behind the cape or leather armour donned for his characters, the British actor has some relatable rituals that non-superstars (or superheroes) can easily employ.

Cavill confirms there's a lot of gym work in his weekly schedule. When hes shooting a movie or series, to make sure that I can survive it, he trains twice a day.

Yes, its definitely for aesthetic reasons, he admits, but its also for the ability to actually manage an arduous shoot for seven to eight months or whatever it may be. Working 14-hour days does take its toll.

Regardless, his ethos is about trying to stay as healthy as possible. That means clean eating, too.

The most important thing for diet is knowledge and preparation, he tells us. And its very difficult for us as people who are busy running around doing our jobs to gain all that knowledge. His solution? If you can find a person or company who can do the knowledge part for you, so you know what your goals are, they can at least give you the information so you can do food prep, for example. This is is enormously helpful, Cavill says, allowing you to be in control of your nutrition.

I have found food prep to be a massive saving grace for me, time-wise and health-wise

I have found food prep to be a massive saving grace for me, time-wise and health-wise, because then I know what Im having and when. Therefore, he can eat as cleanly as possible when working, and then once a week Ill have a meal that I really want to have and thatll be off-diet.

Cavill will suffer for his art, but he knows its just that. On The Graham Norton Show he recently revealed how he would limit his water intake when filming for The Witcher. On the first day youll have a litre and a half, and the second day half a litre, and then the third day, no water, and youll shoot on the fourth [day], he explained.

Will this be a repeat performance? When it comes to shirtless stuff I would absolutely do it again, he says. But I do not recommend it: its not healthy. It doesnt feel good but it does look good! He tells us he only does the the light version of it, (apparently bodybuilders go hard). But for me, if it sells a character to an audience then yes absolutely Ill do it, but if its going to be a risk to my health, then no.

The actor knows that he has a professional trainer observing him, making sure that Im okay and that I have all the right things going into my system. For us mere mortals, its the opposite of what hed recommend.

Dehydration diets aside, Cavill is water obsessed. I was looking to start my own water [brand], he tells us, I was researching various springs around the UK; I wanted it to be environmentally responsible and ethical. He then met David and Bonita Spencer-Percival, founders of No1 Botanicals, who extract the compounds out of herbs and make pure botanical drinks with them.

Cavills now partnered with the couple, enabling him to drink a lot of the No1 Rosemary Water. It completely replaces my regular water intake, he reveals. I love the stuff. The only time I dont [drink it] is when Im in the gym because then I have electrolytes.

This completely replaces my regular water intake

To grasp the botanical science behind it, Cavill made a short documentary in Acciaroli, Italy, to see why the villagers are living long, happy, healthy lives. Indeed, they consume heaps of rosemary, but he assures us theres heavyweight science beneath the romantic concept.

Indeed, Cavill feels it himself. I realised quite quickly that my body was craving it. It really wanted it, and I started to feel better when I was drinking it. I noticed a massive difference when I was working on The Witcher - in prep when I had a window to do all my work for the day I was drinking this stuff and instantly felt sharper. The brain just started firing and it really, really helped.

The tangible health benefits of ancient herbal wisdom is becoming apparent to Cavill.

While he wasnt conscious to include herbs in his diet before, now that Im learning about super herbs, and they are important to include he feels. Especially if you want to live your life to the fullest; if you want to take full advantage of everything the body and mind is keyed to do. So, we can all play Superman?

Its as simple that, he adds. If you start putting this stuff in your body, it works better and more efficiently.

Healthy Eating

There is no one recommended way to eat with Parkinson's disease, but a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables promotes health and well-being for everyone.

One part of a healthy diet is eating foods with antioxidants. These "good for you" molecules help protect cells from stresses such as air pollution, cigarette smoke and even the process of converting food to energy. Antioxidants are found in fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, dark chocolate and some beverages, such as red wine, coffee and tea.

For some Parkinson's symptoms, the first step in treatment is to adjust your diet.

Talk to your doctor or a dietitian to craft a diet that helps you manage your Parkinson's symptoms and feel energized and healthy.

The medication levodopa (Sinemet) is a protein building block, so it competes for absorption with other proteins. Taking levodopa with high-protein meals, such as meat and fish, may reduce how much of the drug gets into your system and how well a dose works. Early in your disease, especially when symptoms are mild, you may have no problem taking levodopa around mealtime. If medication doesn't seem to be working its best, or if it's wearing off before it's time for your next dose, your doctor may recommend taking medication on an empty stomach 30 minutes before or 60 minutes after a meal. Another option is to save higher amounts of protein for the end of the day, when controlling symptoms may not be as critical.

Iron supplements can decrease absorption of levodopa. If you take those, do so at least two hours before or after taking levodopa.

Fava beans contain levodopa, so adding them to one's diet is an attractive idea. Unfortunately, the amount of levodopa in fava beans is unknown and likely minimal.

Dopamine agonists(pramipexole, ropinirole, rotigotine) do not require any diet adjustment. MAO-B inhibitors(rasagaline, selegiline) increase tyramine, and combining them with foods high in tyramine usually aged cheese and cured meats could raise blood pressure. These foods dont need to be eliminated from the diet altogether, but should be eaten in moderation.

Some studies are looking at the effects of diet on Parkinson's symptoms and medication effects. Visit The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF)online study-matching tool Fox Trial Finderto find studies on diet and other areas.

Studies such as theMJFF online Fox Insight studyare gathering data on many aspects of life with Parkinson's, including diet. Fox Insight participants (with or without Parkinson's disease) complete surveys and questionnaires that are helping researchers learn more about the disease experience.

Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research has a policy of refraining from advocating, endorsing or promoting any drug therapy, course of treatment, or specific company or institution.

Your body pH a measure of acidity or alkalinity plays a key role in your health because overly acidic or overly alkaline conditions can stop your enzymes from working properly, essentially stopping cellular function. This is the basis for the alkaline diet.

The Alkaline Diet Plan relies on pH, which measures the acidity or alkalinity of a food.

Credit: anandaBGD/iStock/GettyImages

The alkaline diet is based on the idea that the foods you eat can affect the pH of your body, and proponents claim focusing on alkaline-forming foods for at least 70 percent of your daily diet will combat disease and benefit your health.

While not enough scientific evidence exists to back up all the health claims associated with an alkaline diet, a 2011 study published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health states that an alkaline diet plan might improve bone health and reduce muscle wasting.

Since at least 70 percent of your alkaline diet plan should come from alkaline-forming foods, you can eat almost all vegetables with the exception of pickled veggies and sauerkraut. Focus on leafy greens for your alkaline diet, such as wheat grass, sprouts, kale, dandelion and barley grass.

Eat alkaline root veggies, like beet root, kohlrabi and radishes. Several fruits are also alkaline-forming, with lime, lemon, avocado, cherries, watermelon and ripe bananas among your best options.

For healthy fat, reach for coconut, flaxseed, olive oil and sesame oil. Olive oil, especially, comes loaded with antioxidants and unsaturated fats beneficial for cardiovascular health, while flaxseed oil contains essential omega-3 fatty acids that lower inflammation and support brain function. You can also get healthy fat from alkaline nuts, like almonds and pine nuts.

Opt for whole grains like kamut, buckwheat, millet and spelt, and get alkaline-friendly carbs and protein with lentils. Lima beans, white beans and soybeans both mature seeds and edamame also work well in an alkaline diet menu. Other soy products, like tofu, offer an alkaline-forming source of protein.

Hydrate with water, as well as herbal and green teas, sweetened with an alkaline sweetener like stevia if needed. Add flavor to your meals with alkaline seasonings, including fennel seeds, cumin, caraway and sesame seeds.

Up to 30 percent of your daily food intake can come from acid-forming foods if you're following an alkaline diet plan.

Limit refined grains such as white bread, and opt instead for whole-grain versions. While whole-wheat bread is still slightly acidic, it's a less acidic option than white bread, corn tortillas or sourdough bread. Eat acidic fruits a group that includes mandarins, pineapple, tangerine, raspberries and unripe bananas in moderation.

Most meat is highly acid-forming, with beef, sardines, pork, tuna and veal among the most acidic. Diet staples like chicken, salmon and freshwater fish still count as acidic foods, but they're less acidic than beef. You'll also need to cap your intake of dairy products with the exception of buttermilk, which is alkaline.

Avoid cooking with acid-forming oils, including butter, margarine, corn oil and sunflower oil, and steer clear of acid-forming nuts like peanuts and pistachios. Minimize your use of certain condiments, including ketchup, mustard, mayo and soy sauce.

Stay away from processed foods; canned food and microwave dinners are both highly acidic. You'll also need to limit acid-forming beverages like sugar-sweetened juice cocktails, coffee, beer, wine and liquor.

If you need a helpful breakdown of what you should be eating throughout the day, here's a sample alkaline diet menu.

Start your day with a high-protein, alkaline-forming tofu scramble. Simply crumble tofu into bite-size pieces so that it will resemble the texture of scrambled eggs and add your favorite alkalizing veggies.

Add steamed kale, mushrooms and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicier scramble, or try bok choy, mustard greens and fresh grated ginger for an Asian-inspired dish featuring alkaline-forming ingredients.

If you'd prefer a breakfast with more carbohydrates, cook millet in unsweetened almond milk stirring continuously to prevent burning to make a healthy alkalizing porridge. Top your porridge with chopped almonds and sliced dried figs, or add sliced banana and a dash of cinnamon.

Use alkaline-forming ingredients to make healthy lunches and dinners. Because leafy greens are among the most alkaline veggies, enjoying a big green salad on the alkaline diet is a no-brainer.

Add heft to your salad by adding a half-cup of cooked lentils, a few blocks of grilled tofu or a small serving of grilled chicken or salmon, and make your own healthy spicy buttermilk dressing with a mixture of buttermilk, olive oil, oregano and cayenne pepper. For an Asian-inspired salad, top your greens with edamame, shredded carrot and baked chunks of tofu; then make a dressing out of sesame oil and fresh-grated ginger.

Make a light, alkaline-friendly soup by cooking your favorite veggies in a low-sodium vegetable broth, then tossing in edamame, sea vegetables and tempeh for high-quality protein and added flavor. Make a heartier soup by adding a half-cup of cooked kamut or spelt pasta to your bowl before serving.

Pasta made with alkaline grains, like kamut, can also satisfy a carb craving at dinner. Make your own alkaline-friendly pasta sauces at home using a food processor; try one made with tomatoes, fresh garlic, olive oil and basil for a traditional tomato sauce, or puree roasted butternut squash with buttermilk and sage until it takes on a creamy consistency.

Make an alkaline chili featuring white kidney beans, lentils and your favorite vegetables, and serve it on a bed of steamed greens. If you're craving extra carbs or protein, eat your chili with a small portion of grilled chicken or a slice of whole-wheat or sprouted-grain bread.

Snacks on the alkaline diet can be simple; enjoy a ripe banana, a few slices of watermelon or an ounce of almonds. If you have a little more time to prepare your snack, try a quarter-avocado topped with a spoonful of hulled sunflower seeds and a drizzle of honey.

Alternatively, blend up an alkaline smoothie made with almond milk, a handful of chopped kale, a few fresh figs or a frozen banana and a spoonful of almond butter.

The alkaline diet has several potential benefits. You'll likely be eating lots of alkaline-forming fruits and veggies each day, which can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease. You'll emphasize plant-derived protein over red meat, which can also boost heart health.

However, the high number of restricted foods on the alkaline diet might make it hard to follow, especially if some of your former diet staples fall into the "highly acidic" category. And many acid-forming foods have real health benefits; for example, skinless chicken is a rich source of protein, while raspberries and pineapple supply essential fiber and vitamin C.

If you're struggling with the restrictions of the alkaline diet, consult a nutrition professional to help you develop a meal plan that incorporates the main concepts of the alkaline diet, but still suits your individual food preferences.

The GAPS diet was derived from the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) created by Dr. Sidney Valentine Haas to naturally treat chronic inflammatory conditions in the digestive tract as a result of a damaged gut lining. SCD gained great popularity after a mother, Elaine Gottschall, healed her own child of Ulcerative Colitisand became an advocate for SCD.Elaine Gottschall is also the author of the popular book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle:Intestinal Health Through Diet. Through years of research and clinical experience, Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride adjusted her protocol to fit the individual healthcare needs of her patients suffering from a variety of intestinal and neurological conditions as a result of an imbalanced bacterial ecosystem within the GI tract. The GAPS Diet focuses on removing foods that are difficult to digest and damaging to gut flora and replacing them with nutrient-dense foodsto give the intestinal lining a chance to heal and seal.

As many Americans cancelled meat from their diets this January in what became known as Veganuary, Joe Rogan went all in, going on the Carnivore Diet.

For a full 30 days, he ate only meat. Grass-fed beef, elk, eggs, repeat.

"When you have no carbohydrates, one of the things that's amazing is that there's no crashing," Rogan said in an interview with Tom Papa. "My energy levels were amazing." Some proponents believe that the Carnivore Diet can reduce certain health issues that plants might aggravate in a small number of people (get insight on the whole debate here).

But about two weeks in, the picture wasn't so rosy. He'd lost weightafter 30 days, he dropped about seven pounds, he saysbut the side effect of having all meat, all the time was what he called on Instagram "explosive uber diarrhea."

Or, well, worse than explosive uber diarrhea. And he clarifies in the Papa interview that "It needs to have a new name. Diarrhea isn't strong enough for what I was experiencing; it's like someone was tapping into, like, an oil well." We'll leave it to you to get many, many more details on that from the video, but suffice it to say that they're there, and you're probably going to want to know them before you attempt this diet, if you dare.

All told, Rogan says he dropped about 12 pounds during the month. (The diarrhea cleared up after about two weeks, he says.)

Here's what a day on the plan looked like:

A typical breakfast: 6 eggs, or steak.

A typical lunch: "I don't eat lunch, just usually two meals a day."

A typical dinner: Steak or elk.

He supplemented that with baconyou need fat, he says, since meats like elk are very leanplus "lots of vitamins and supplements," including amino acids and fish oil, to make up for the nutrients he was missing from eating a variety of foods during the month.

"What is it like if you extend that to 90 days, or 365 days?...Is it going to start breaking your body down? I don't know." He also admits "I don't know that it's a way to eat all the time."

What he does know, he says, is that there's value to going all in sometimes. Ideally, he says, any restrictive plan is probably best done 6 days on, one day off. But for the Carnivore Diet in January, it was all-in, and there's value to that, he says. "We need a certain amount of rigidity occasionally, that's how you get shit done."

What Happened to Joe Rogans Body After 30 Days on the Carnivore Diet - Men's Health

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) Losing weight is always a top New Years resolution. This year, a lot of people are talking about and trying intermittent fasting as an option to lose weight.

Becca Fischer decided to give it a try after her boyfriend committed to fasting at the start of the new year.

For the last few months, Ive taken advantage of all the holiday food and really not paid attention to what I was eating. I felt myself gaining weight and craving sugar and all the bad foods, Fischer told KDKAs Heather Abraham.

Fischer does the 16/8 Fast, which means she fasts for 16 hours and is allowed to eat during eight hours. She goes without a meal or snacking from 8 p.m. to noon the next day.

When I make it to noon, I feel good that I made it there, said Fischer. I feel strong and even though Im hungry, I feel like Ive accomplished something by waiting until noon.

If you do a quick search online, youll find a ton of purported benefits to fasting. Some say it can promote autophagy, which is broken down to mean self-eating, a process which helps the body break down old or damaged cells and has other health benefits.

Registered Dietician at UPMC Magee Alleda Rose says, however, a lot of research still needs to be done on autophagy and fasting.

You would have to be fasting for longer than 18 to 24 hours and theres still not significant research to show that you would produce that type of response from your body, says Rose, adding that there have been animal studies but not enough in humans.

Yes, its still what we consider a trend and not an evidence-based practice, said Rose. Fasting, with the research thats out there is just comparable to following a low-calorie diet.

Even so, Fischer says she is seeing results.

She admits part of the reason why could be because shes more aware of what shes eating and most likely limiting her calories intake.

I love carbs. I love bread, I love pasta. I love all of that stuff. So, I dont want to limit myself from having those things. But just being more conscience during those eight hours of what Im putting in my body, Fischer said, whos already lost a few pounds.

Fischer says she doesnt consider intermittent fasting a diet, but more of a lifestyle change. She also says its not sustainable for her long term, but plans on continuing it until she reaches her goal.

There are several ways to do intermittent fasting.

Heres a link to some of the most popular methods: https://www.eatright.org/health/weight-loss/fad-diets/what-is-intermittent-fasting
