If you’re thinking of trying intermittent fasting, the 16/8 fasting is the easiest to do and stick to.

It involves eating only during an 8-hour period and fasting for the remaining 16 hours.

Also if you’re trying to lose weight, intermittent fasting is said to aid and foster weight loss. This is without counting calories and following a specific meal plan.

It may also improve blood sugar, better brain function, and longevity.

Before you start, discuss with your doctor to see if intermittent fasting is right for you.
