A member asked:
Is intermittent fasting effective for reducing insulin resistance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No because: Your body is smarter than you and slows down it's metabolism when you fast. You need to find a restricted diet and increased exercise program you can follow for the rest of your life, because things aren't going to go away by themselves, only worsen over time unless you do something to make them better.
