The specifics of intermittent fasting
There are three approaches to take:
- Alternate day fasting: Eat whatever you want on off days, but limit calories to around 500 on fasting days.
- The 5:2 diet, which involves fasting during the week and making eating what you want on weekends.
- Time-restricted eating. Eating is limited to an eight-hour window each day. Most people make it from noon to 8 p.m.
The diet doesn't specify what you should be eating, only when.
