What is Intermittent Fasting?
Intermittent Fasting (IF) isn't a diet; it's a pattern of eating. It cycles between periods of eating and fasting.
Common Methods
- 16/8 Method: Fast for 16 hours, eat within an 8-hour window. This is the most popular approach.
- 5:2 Diet: Eat normally for 5 days, restrict calories (500-600) for 2 days.
Benefits
Studies suggest IF can aid weight loss, improve metabolic health, and even extend lifespan. However, it's not magic. Calories still count!
