Are intermittent fasting diets effective for weight loss?

Are intermittent fasting diets effective for weight loss? Absolutely and what we don't know is which person they're going to work for and which person they're not going to work for. So it's worthwhile trying and see what works for you the best. So there are different kinds of intermittent fasting. Some examples are what's called the 5-2 diet in which two days of the week you consume less than 500 calories per day but you're allowed to eat as much as you want in all the other five days. Another approach is to fast for 16 hours between meals so that means having for example lunch and then not having dinner, skipping dinner and therefore your next meal becomes your breakfast. So these are variations of fasting that people can try and if they work and you're losing weight carry on doing them.
