About Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It doesn't specify which foods you should eat, but rather when you should eat them.
Common intermittent fasting methods involve daily 16-hour fasts (16:8 method), fasting for 24 hours twice per week (5:2 method), or alternating between fasting and non-fasting days.
Popular Fasting Protocols
- 16:8 - Fast for 16 hours, eat during an 8-hour window
- 18:6 - Fast for 18 hours, eat during a 6-hour window
- 20:4 - Fast for 20 hours, eat during a 4-hour window
- OMAD - One Meal A Day, typically a 23:1 fasting to eating ratio
