Three Parts:Planning Your Fasting DietFollowing a Fasting ScheduleLosing Weight Through an IF DietCommunity Q&A

Intermittent fasting (IF) is a form of diet and lifestyle change which, rather than reducing your caloric intake very much or cutting out certain food group, restricts the hours during a day in which you will eat and when you will fast. Fasting typically includes your sleeping hours plus not eating until your fasting period ends. There are various regimens for implementing an IF diet for you to choose among. IF can be paired with exercise and/or calorie reduction to lead to a reduction of body-tissue inflammation, and can also result in weight loss -- or muscle gain.
