Intermittent fasting may not be the magic bullet for weight loss it appeared to be.  

Researchers analysed 22 global trials and found no clear advantage over standard dietary advice.

Body Torque Gym Founder Alex Flint told Mike Hosking intermittent fasting is just a really good method for portion control, but it has a much better marketing department.  

He says if you can stick to it, it’s a fantastic tool, but it’s not superior to regular calorie control methods and eating patterns.
