What is Intermittent Fasting?
Intermittent fasting is a highly effective dietary pattern that alternates between periods of eating and fasting. The most popular approach is the 16/8 fasting schedule, which involves abstaining from food for 16 hours and consuming your daily meals within an 8-hour window. This simple yet powerful method encourages your body to tap into fat reserves for energy, promoting sustainable weight loss.
