intermittent fast
Timed eating pattern
Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating.
Common approaches include the 16:8 method (eating within an eight-hour window) or alternate-day fasting.
The practice is promoted for weight loss and metabolic benefits.
An intermittent fast is a single instance: I'm doing an intermittent fast today.
