Question 1

What is intermittent fasting?

Accepted Answer

Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It doesn't specify which foods to eat, but rather when you should eat them.

14:10 or 16:8 are best for beginners. Start with 14:10 (14 hours fasting, 10 hours eating) and gradually increase the fasting window as you adapt.

Can I drink water during fasting?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Water, black coffee, and plain tea are allowed during fasting periods. Avoid anything with calories, sugar, or artificial sweeteners.
