Intermittent fasting (IF) is any of various meal timing schedules that cycle between voluntary fasting (or reduced calorie intake) and non-fasting over a given period.
Methods of intermittent fasting include alternate-day fasting, periodic fasting, such as the 5:2 diet, and daily time-restricted eating.
Complete alternate-day fasting is total intermittent energy restriction (IER vs. CER = continuous energy restriction), where no calories are consumed on fasting days.
Intermittent fasting may improve several health outcomes in overweight or obese adults.
Some different types of fastings exist in some religious practices.
The National Institute on Aging states current human research is limited, inconclusive, and not enough to recommend these diets for the general public.
