There are a few major types of intermittent fasting that you can choose towork with. These fasts can all be effective, and the one that’s right for you will depend on your personal preferences, schedule, and lifestyle. Some of the fasting options that you can go with include:
* The 16/8 method: This one will ask you to fast for 16 hours each day and eat during the other 8 hours. So, you may choose to only eat from noon to 8 pm or from 10 am to 6 pm. You can choose whichever eight-hour window that you like.
* Eat-Stop-Eat: Once or twice each week, you will not eat anything from dinner one day until dinner the next day. This gives you a 24-hour fast but still allows you to eat on each of the days that you are fasting.
* The 5:2 diet: You will pick out two days of the week to fast. During those two days, you are only allowed to have up to 500-600 calories each day.
Of course, there are variations of the three that are listed above. For example, some people decide to limit their windows even more and only eat for four hours and fast for twenty on this diet. Most people who go on these fasts will choose to go with the 16/8 method because it’s the easiest to stick with and will give you some great results in the process.
Intermittent fasting is simple and effective. It helps you limit the calories that you are consuming and burn more fat and calories than you would with a traditional diet.
