What are the types of intermittent fasting?

Scientific studies have revealed that intermittent fasting has significant benefits for weight loss.

The types of intermittent fasting, which is a dietary model based on regulating eating hours, are:

16-8 Intermittent Fasting Diet

In this diet method, you fast for 16 hours and eat during the remaining 8 hours. For example, you should consume food between 13:00 and 20:00 and not eat during the remaining time.

Eat-Stop-Eat Method

The eat-stop-eat type, which is among the types of intermittent fasting, is a method where no food is consumed for 24 hours, once or at most twice a week. In this option, you do not eat from one dinner until the next dinner.

5-2 Intermittent Fasting Diet

In the 5-2 intermittent fasting method, planning must be done on a weekly basis. In this intermittent fasting diet, you eat normally for 5 days of the week and consume restricted food for the remaining 2 days. For the 2 days you consume restricted food, you should consume at most between 500 and 800 calories of food.

Additionally, for your health, it is important that the 2 days you consume restricted food are not consecutive.
