Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating method in which an individual alternates between fasting and eating. There are several different methods of intermittent fasting, but the most common are:
Time-restricted feeding (TRF): In this method, individuals limit their eating window to a specific number of hours per day, usually 8-10 hours. For example, if someone chooses to eat between 12:00 PM and 8:00 PM, they fast for the remaining 16 hours.
Alternate Day Fasting (ADF): This method involves alternating days of unrestricted eating and days of calorie restriction to about 25 percent of normal intake. 5:2 Diet. This approach involves eating normally five days a week and limiting your calorie intake to around 500-600 calories on two non-consecutive days.

The mechanism behind the weight loss effects of intermittent fasting is that it helps create a caloric deficit by reducing the total number of calories consumed over a period of time. However, IF can also cause other physiological changes, such as increased insulin sensitivity and changes in hormone levels, which contribute to weight loss and other health benefits.

Research shows that intermittent fasting is an effective way to lose weight, with several studies showing that it can reduce body weight, body fat percentage, and waist circumference.
