intermittent fasting

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that alternates between periods of eating and fasting. Rather than focusing on what to eat, it emphasizes when to eat. Common approaches include the 16/8 method, where you fast for 16 hours and eat during an 8-hour window, or the 5:2 method, where you eat normally for five days and restrict calories on two non-consecutive days. This method may help with weight loss, improve metabolic health, and enhance overall wellness by allowing the body to rest from digestion and focus on repair processes during fasting periods.
