Tag: Weekend eating

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, intermittent fasting may help manage weight and prevent certain diseases [1]. For those with busy weekends, adopting a weekday-only schedule for intermittent fasting can provide structure and consistency that might otherwise be hard to maintain. But is this approach truly effective, or does it simply undermine your progress?

According to a study published in *Obesity Facts*, people who successfully lose weight often show a pattern of small weekend weight gains followed by weekday drops. The key is not to view a single weekend that deviates from your plan as a failure, but rather as a minor blip in your long-term health journey. Understanding the psychological and physical impacts can help you reset effectively and maintain momentum.

According to a study in the *Proceedings of the Nutrition Society*, weekend diets are often less healthy than weekday ones, with increased calorie intake from discretionary foods and alcohol. This trend leads many people to ask, "Can I save calories for the weekend?" as a strategy to balance indulgence with weight management.
