Alternate-day fasting is a form of intermittent fasting that can help with weight loss and possibly offers several health benefits. However, it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially for women and those with health issues.
The idea behind fasting’s benefits dates back to our ancestors. In ancient times, our hunter-gatherer forebears often went longer between meals, possibly letting their bodies cleanse themselves and dispose of harmful cells (also known as autophagy). Fasting also shifts your body from using food for energy to burning stored fat, creating substances called ketones. This process can lead to improved weight loss.
Intermittent fasting comes in various methods, like the 5:2 diet or the 16:8 diet.
In this article, we’ll dive deeper and look into what alternate-day fasting is, along with the potential benefits.
