What is Intermittent Fasting?


Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that alternates between periods of eating and fasting. It does not dictate which foods to consume but focuses on when to eat them.

Different Methods of Intermittent Fasting


There are several methods of intermittent fasting, each dividing the day or week into eating and fasting periods. Most people already engage in a form of fasting daily while they sleep. Extending this fasting period can be as simple as:



  • Skipping breakfast

  • Eating your first meal at noon

  • Having your last meal by 8 PM


By following this schedule, you would be fasting for 16 hours each day, with an 8-hour eating window. This approach is known as the 16/8 method.

Benefits of Intermittent Fasting


Contrary to common belief, intermittent fasting is quite manageable. Many individuals report feeling better and experiencing an increase in energy levels during fasting periods. While hunger might be a concern initially, your body will adapt over time.

What You Can Consume During Fasting


During fasting periods, food is off-limits; however, you can hydrate with:



  • Water

  • Coffee

  • Tea

  • Other non-caloric beverages


Some intermittent fasting methods may permit small amounts of low-calorie foods. Additionally, taking supplements is generally acceptable as long as they contain no calories.
