Many diets focus on what to eat, but intermittent fasting is all about
when you eat.
With intermittent fasting, you only eat during a specific time. Fasting
for a certain number of hours each day or eating just one meal a couple
days a week, can help your body burn fat. And scientific evidence points
to some health benefits, as well.
Once you get his or her go-ahead, the actual practice is simple. You can
pick a daily approach, which restricts daily eating to one six- to
eight-hour period each day. For instance, you may choose to try 16/8
fasting: eating for eight hours and fasting for 16.
