Intermittent diet, also known as intermittent fasting, refers to the periodic adjustment of diet in order to keep healthy or lose weight. The interval diet cycle can be daily, weekly or monthly, and the diet content remains unchanged during the cycle, and the restrictions can be appropriately relaxed during the week. During intermission, high-calorie foods, mainly vegetables, fruits and whole wheat bread, should be avoided. With reasonable exercise, it is helpful to reduce the physical load and achieve the effect of health preservation.

The benefits of intermittent diet are not only reflected in health, but also help to change bad eating habits. Some people often eat too much or eat irregularly because of busy work or emotional instability. Intermittent diet can help them eat regularly. At the same time, the change of diet will make people feel fresher, promote the improvement of quality of life, and relieve anxiety and depression.

The disadvantage of intermittent diet is that extreme eating behavior may lead to insufficient nutrition and health problems. Therefore, before the implementation of intermittent diet, we must first understand our physical condition, carefully choose our diet, and pay close attention to our own changes and physical reactions during the implementation process, so as to achieve good results in diet adjustment.
