Frequently Asked Questions

Which intermittent fasting schedule is best for beginners?

Start with 16:8 — fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8-hour window. For example, first meal at 12 PM, last meal by 8 PM. This is the most sustainable IF protocol and aligns naturally with skipping breakfast.

Does intermittent fasting actually help weight loss?

Yes — studies show IF reduces calorie intake by 10–25% naturally and increases fat oxidation. However, IF alone without a calorie deficit will not cause weight loss. It is a timing tool, not a magic solution. Avoid compensating by overeating during the eating window.
