Intermittent Fasting and Health Benefits: For the uninitiated, intermittent fasting involves cycling between periods of fasting and eating. This abstinence period is known as the fasting window. Few practice it daily by staying away from calories for several hours each day, and the others do not eat anything for a couple of days or more each week. After the fast gets over, you are supposed to consume your daily requirement of calories in what is known as the feeding window.
Owing to its popularity, multiple intermittent fasting schedules have been devised. The most popular ones are 16/8, where you fast for 16 hours and eat in the remaining eight-hour window; the 5/2 approach, where you eat normally for five days a week and limit calorie intake to 500-600 calories on two non-consecutive days; and One Meal A Day fasting, where you fast for the entire day, and only have one meal at the end of the day.
