Diets come in different forms. They differ not only in their effectiveness in fighting extra pounds, but also in their impact on health.
In some cases, experts directly speak of a mortal threat.
After conducting research, British nutritionists came to the conclusion that the popular 16/8 diet can lead to exactly these consequences.
In particular, it has been linked to an increased risk of death from heart disease.
It has been proven that the risk increases by 91% for those who follow this diet.
Diet 16/8
The diet involves intermittent fasting, when the person losing weight eats for eight hours a day and fasts for the remaining 16 hours.
The method of fighting excess weight has gained popularity thanks to celebrities who have lost weight through intermittent fasting.
How it really is
Scientists have come to the conclusion that eating within 8 hours a day is not much better than a diet in which those losing weight begin to count every calorie.
The diet provokes headaches, fatigue, irritability, and if intermittent fasting is followed constantly, it can end in a stroke.
