Intermittent fasting (IF) is the most ancient eating pattern known to humans. When it comes to weight loss and improving metabolism, IF is the best option for improving one’s health. Studies have shown that if you alternate between eating and fasting, you can lose weight without even counting calories.

Intermittent fasting can be carried out on any meal schedule and doesn’t tell you to eat zero calories. During fasting periods, you can drink any water or calorie-free beverage you like and have any healthy food you wish to eat.

IF does not ask you to count your calories or deprive you of calories. It simply asks that you eat zero calories during a specific period each day.
