tips about intermittent fasting and its benefits

Intermittent fasting is a dietary pattern that relies on alternating between periods of eating and periods of fasting. Intermittent fasting does not specify the types of foods to be eaten, but rather focuses on when to eat. There are several popular methods for applying intermittent fasting, including:

The most famous intermittent fasting patterns:

16/8 method:

Fasting for 16 hours and eating within 8 hours.
A person usually eats two to three meals during the eating period.

On the remaining two days, calories are reduced to about 500-600 calories.

24-hour method:

Fasting for a full 24 hours once or twice a week.
A person abstains from food for a full day, but water and calorie-free drinks are allowed.
