Intermittent Fasting
An eating pattern cycling between periods of eating and fasting.
PLAIN ENGLISH
Patient-Friendly Explanation
Intermittent fasting means you eat only during specific hours (e.g. 12pm-8pm) and fast the rest of the time. It can help reduce overall calorie intake without requiring calorie counting.
MEDICAL
Clinical Definition
Intermittent fasting protocols include 16:8 (daily), 5:2 (weekly), and alternate-day fasting. Meta-analyses show 3-8% weight loss over 3-24 weeks, comparable to continuous calorie restriction.
KEY INSIGHT
Why It Matters
Intermittent fasting is a simple, flexible approach that suits some patients better than traditional calorie counting. Medical supervision ensures safety, especially for patients on diabetes medications.
