                                According to a 2024 American Heart Association study, people following an 8-hour time-restricted eating schedule had a 91% higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease, highlighting that there are indeed negatives to intermittent fasting. This eating pattern, while popular for weight loss, carries potential risks and side effects that many prospective practitioners should be aware of before starting.
