"Wellness" routine
Jack Dorsey shared his eating habits of one meal a day, sometimes without eating on weekends.
He later updated his fasting habits and stated that he eats "seven meals every week, just dinner." It consists of protein like fish, chicken or steak, and a lot of greens. For dessert, he has mixed berries and maybe some dark chocolate.

Recovering calorie deficit
While intermittent fasting has as main purpose to make the large calorie deficit remain unchanged after a period of fasting or low-calorie dieting, studies have shown that actually a combination of eating just a bit more and doing less physical activity can help recover half of this calorie deficit.

Popular regimens of fasting:
- The 5:2 Pattern: restrict your calorie intake for two days per week (500 calories per day for women and 600 for men).
- The 6:1 Pattern: similar to the 5:2, but there’s only one day of reduced calorie intake instead of two.
- “Eat Stop Eat”: a 24-hour complete fast, 1–2 times per week.
- The 16:8 Pattern: only consuming food in an eight-hour window and fasting for 16 hours a day, every day of the week.
Keep fasting periods short
Longer periods of fasting increase your risk of side effects, such as dehydration, dizziness, and fainting.
The best way to avoid these side effects is to stick to shorter fasting periods of up to 24 hours — especially when you’re just starting out.

Intermittent fasting for weight loss
When we fast, Insulin levels fall, signaling the body to start burning stored energy as no more is coming through food. Blood glucose falls, so the body must now pull glucose out of storage to burn for energy.
In essence, intermittent fasting allows the body to use its stored energy.
Health benefits of intermittent fasting
- Weight and body fat loss
- Lowered blood insulin and sugar levels
- Possibly reversal of type 2 diabetes
- Possibly improved mental clarity and concentration
- Possibly increased energy
- Possibly increased growth hormone, at least in the short term
- Possibly an improved blood cholesterol profile
- Possibly a reduction in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease
- Possibly longer life
- Possibly activation of cellular cleansing by stimulating autophagy
