Intermittent Fasting

Two of the most popular intermittent fasting schedules are the 16/8 method, which involves a daily 16-hour fasting window and an 8-hour eating window, and the 5:2 method, which alternates between five regular eating days and two non-consecutive low-calorie days. The best intermittent fasting schedule depends on your lifestyle and preferences.

Several factors determine weight loss, so the amount of weight you can lose in a month can vary significantly. Still, there have been reports of people losing about 4 pounds for the 16/8 method and even 5-6 pounds for alternate-day fasting.

There are several factors that could influence whether you lose weight or not, such as your caloric intake being too high, your food choices, excessive food intake during the eating window, lack of exercise, hydration, metabolism, hormonal balance, and genetics. It might help to impose a calorie restriction to ensure that you are not creating a calorie surplus during the eating window.
