Intermittent fasting involves alternating cycles of fasting and eating, all within a set time schedule. Think of it more as a pattern of living and eating than a diet. Because unlike diets, there aren’t any strict rules on what you can and can’t eat—intermittent fasting is all about timing!

Recently, many scientific and medical studies have pointed to the benefits of intermittent fasting, from its weight loss results to its impact on disease.

With The Everything Guide to Intermittent Fasting, you’ll learn all you need to know to start safely incorporating intermittent fasting into your everyday life. This accessible and practical guide includes information on the different ways to fast, when to eat, why fasting benefits your body, which foods to eat to help you feel your best, and can help you determine which intermittent fasting plan best suits you.
