Does intermittent fasting work?
It works for weight loss because it usually cuts total calories, not because of magic metabolic effects. 16:8 is the most popular and sustainable schedule. Not appropriate for people with a history of disordered eating.
Follow-up questions
Does it boost metabolism?
Marginally, if at all. The main lever is reduced eating window = fewer calories.
Can I drink coffee during a fast?
Black coffee, tea, and water don't break a fast in any meaningful way.
