16/8 Method
The 16/8 method involves fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window each day. This schedule is effective for weight loss and energy as it helps control calorie intake and may improve metabolic health.
5:2 Method
The 5:2 method involves eating normally for 5 days a week and restricting calorie intake to 500-600 calories on the other 2 non-consecutive days. This intermittent fasting schedule can promote weight loss and may improve energy levels.
Alternate-Day Fasting
Alternate-day fasting involves alternating between days of regular eating and days of fasting or consuming very few calories. This approach can be effective for weight loss and may also have positive effects on energy levels.
