3470: What Wins: Intermittent Fasting vs. Daily Caloric Restriction

WW: What Wins: Intermittent Fasting vs. Daily Caloric Restriction

Weight loss isn’t always just about “calories in, calories out.”

And on today’s show, I’m sharing research that reveals why how you eat can be just as important—if not more—than how much you eat.

I’ll break down a clinical study comparing a 4:3 intermittent fasting plan to traditional daily calorie restriction and reveal which approach came out on top.

If you’re curious whether intermittent fasting can boost both weight loss and overall health—and want to know which wins in the battle of intermittent fasting vs. daily calorie restriction—join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3470 to discover the winning strategy.

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. Same Calories, Different Results
Research shows that even with the same weekly calories, people following a 4:3 intermittent fasting plan lost about 50% more weight than those cutting calories daily due to hormonal and metabolic advantages.

2. Health Markers Improved
In addition to weight loss the research showed that Intermittent fasting lowered blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose, targeting key risk factors for heart disease, diabetes, and long-term mortality.

3. Hormones Matter More Than Calories Alone
Timing and fasting windows help balance insulin, reduce inflammation, and trigger autophagy, proving that weight loss isn’t just about calories in vs. calories out.
