Обзор

Intermittent fasting is timing, not a food list: 16/8 leaves eight hours to eat and sixteen to fast (often skipping breakfast). 5:2 adds two low-calorie days weekly.

Trials show weight loss and better insulin sensitivity when eating windows are not binge-prone. Mechanisms include calorie deficit and autophagy hints from animal research.

Avoid with eating disorders, type 1 diabetes, pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical OK.
