16/8 Method
The 16/8 method involves fasting for 16 hours each day and restricting eating to an 8-hour window. This schedule can be easily incorporated into daily routines and may help with weight loss and improved metabolic health.
5:2 Method
The 5:2 method entails eating normally for 5 days of the week and consuming only 500-600 calories on the remaining 2 days. This approach may lead to weight loss and improved markers of health, such as reduced inflammation and improved insulin sensitivity.
Alternate Day Fasting
Alternate day fasting involves alternating between days of regular eating and days of fasting or consuming very few calories. This method has shown to be effective for weight loss and may also offer benefits for heart health and longevity.
