Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that involves alternating periods of fasting and eating within a specific timeframe. It does not specify which foods to eat but rather focuses on when to eat them.
Common fasting methods include the 16/8 method (16 hours of fasting and an 8-hour eating window) and the 5:2 method (5 days of regular eating and 2 days of restricted calorie intake). Intermittent fasting has gained popularity for its potential benefits in weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and other health markers.
