Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of eating and fasting. It doesn't prescribe specific foods to eat but rather focuses on when you should eat. The most common methods involve daily fasting periods, such as the 16/8 method, where you fast for 16 hours and have an eating window of 8 hours. Another approach is the 5:2 method, which involves eating regularly for five days a week and significantly reducing calorie intake on the other two non-consecutive days.

Intermittent fasting has been associated with various health benefits, including weight loss, improved metabolic health, and potential benefits for brain health. The fasting periods can help the body burn stored fat for energy and may lead to a reduction in calorie intake. It's essential to note that intermittent fasting may not be suitable for everyone, and consulting with a healthcare professional before starting any fasting regimen is advisable.
