- 16/8 method
- 5:2 method
- Alternate-day fasting
16/8 Method
The 16/8 method involves fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window each day. This schedule is popular and relatively easy to follow, making it a good option for weight loss and improving overall health.
5:2 Method
The 5:2 method involves eating normally for 5 days of the week and restricting calorie intake to 500-600 calories on the other 2 non-consecutive days. This approach may be effective for weight loss and has shown potential health benefits such as improved insulin sensitivity and reduced inflammation.
Alternate-Day Fasting
Alternate-day fasting involves alternating between days of regular eating and days of either complete fasting or significant calorie restriction. While this method may be more challenging for some, it has been shown to promote weight loss and improve markers of health when followed consistently.
