Intermittent fasting may not help people who are overweight or obese lose weight, a large review suggests.

The researchers say the popular practice of fasting on some days of the week and eating normally on others "may make little to no difference to weight loss and quality of life".

But they say intermittent fasting could still improve overall health through helpful changes to some body functions, though more evidence is needed.

It's a method of calorie restriction, which does work for most people.
