- 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 sustainable for many people as it can be easily incorporated into daily routines. It may also be effective for weight loss as it can lead to reduced calorie intake.
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 intermittent fasting schedule may be effective for weight loss and has been shown to be sustainable for some individuals.
Alternate Day Fasting
Alternate day fasting involves alternating between days of regular eating and days of fasting or consuming very few calories. While this method may be effective for weight loss, it may be more challenging to sustain for some individuals due to the frequency of fasting days.
