Intermittent fasting is not a diet, but rather a pattern of eating that involves cycles of fasting and feasting. Thurlow explains that the body is designed to go through periods of fasting and feasting, and that intermittent fasting helps improve metabolic flexibility, regulate blood sugar levels, and reduce inflammation.
Thurlow also points out that intermittent fasting doesn’t require calorie counting or eliminating any specific foods; instead, it focuses on when to eat rather than what to eat. She suggests starting with a 12 hour fast and gradually increasing the fasting window to up to 16 hours.
