Approaches to intermittent fasting
- Skipped meals - when you skip over a meal to induce extra time of fasting.
- Eating windows - this condenses your entire macronutrient intake between a 4 and 7-hour window. The rest of the time you are in a fasting state.
- 24-48 hour cleanse - where you go into extended fasting periods and do not eat for 1-2 days.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
