Intermittent fasting is a diet that alternates between fasting and eating regularly. According to research, intermittent fasting can help you control your weight and perhaps prevent – or even reverse – some diseases.
In this type of fasting a person needs to decide on a 12-hour fasting window and stick to it.
As per the research, 10-16 hours of fasting causes the fat storage to burn and convert into energy which releases ketones in the bloodstream and promotes weight loss.
Intermittent fasting for beginners can be challenging, thus 12-hour fasting is relatively an easier option as the fasting window is small and can be covered during sleep time.
