intermittent fasting

Cyclic eating windows

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating.

Rather than restricting what you eat, it restricts when you eat—common approaches include the 16:8 method (eating within an eight-hour window) or fasting for full days each week.

I've been doing intermittent fasting and skip breakfast now.
