One of the most popular diets today is intermittent fasting, which involves strictly adhering to certain periods of food intake.
You can fast by the hour - for example, you can eat for 8 hours, but not for 16, or by the days of the week: you can eat for 5 days, but not for 2 days.
This diet is used not only for weight loss, but also to improve health, but it is not suitable for everyone.
