In this article we will be looking at the health benefits of Intermittent Fasting, which is an eating pattern that alternates between fasting and time-restricted eating periods.
There are several different types of intermittent fasting patterns:
The 16:8 intermittent fasting plan involves 16 hours of fasting followed by an eight-hour eating period.
The alternate-day fasting plan is characterized by fasting every other day, where you consume no calories or drastically reduce your calories consumed to around 500 to 600 calories.
The 5:2 fasting approach involves eating normally for five days a week and restricting calorie intake to around 500 to 600 calories on two non-consecutive days.
