Intermittent fasting

The study looked at more than 2700 teenagers and young adults in Canada.

Assistant Professor at University of California, San Francisco Study co-author Jason Nagata said the study looked at more than 2,700 teenagers and young adults in Canada and found a link between intermittent fasting and eating disorders in women, including binge eating, some bulimic behaviors, and compulsive exercise. One popular example of intermittent fasting is anchoring eating times to an eight-hour window and fasting for the rest of the day. Intermittent fasting is the dietary practice of switching between periods of regular consumption and fasting at certain hours of the day or night.
