What is intermittent fasting?

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern where you cycle between periods of eating and voluntary fasting. The 16:8 method, mentioned in the story, involves eating all your meals within an eight-hour window each day and fasting for the remaining 16 hours. It's not about what you eat, but when you eat it, which some find easier to stick to than traditional calorie restriction.
