Intermittent fasting (IF) Intermittent fasting (hereinafter referred to as IF) is the new favorite of the scientific community in recent years. BBC reported IF on 20 12, believing that it can help users lose weight and improve their health. In fact, as early as decades ago, researchers from Yale University and Copenhagen University began to study IF.
IF is a very simple diet with many branches. Among them, the most popular intermittent fasting method is the 8/ 16 diet (hereinafter referred to as the 8-hour diet). When dieting for 8 hours, you need to fast all calorie-containing foods 16 hours a day, and eat for the remaining 8 hours (continuous period).
The magic of the 8-hour diet is that you can still lose weight by using the 8-hour diet (for a period of time), even if the types of food you choose and the amount you eat remain the same every day (provided that your previous diet plan will not make you fat, that is, basically maintain your weight).
