According to a 2025 study in the *Annals of Internal Medicine*, participants who practiced intermittent fasting three days a week achieved greater weight loss than those on daily calorie restriction. This finding highlights a flexible and effective approach to weight management that can be more sustainable for many individuals.

A study in the *Annals of Internal Medicine* found that participants fasting three non-consecutive days per week experienced greater weight loss over one year compared to those on daily calorie restriction. This finding prompts a closer look at the practice: is it healthy to fast three times a week, and is it a sustainable approach for long-term health?

According to a 2025 study in *Annals of Internal Medicine*, participants on the 4 3 intermittent fasting rule lost more weight over 12 months than those on a daily calorie restriction. This approach balances four days of normal eating with three non-consecutive days of significant calorie reduction.

Recent studies suggest that fasting three days per week, also known as the 4:3 method, may be more effective for weight loss over 12 months than daily calorie restriction, primarily due to higher adherence rates. This approach involves alternating between normal eating days and significant calorie restriction, offering a more flexible path to metabolic benefits.
