It\u2019s not really a healthy way to lose weight, as it teaches your body to store fat when you do eat again, preventing starvation. Intermittent fasting lets you <strong>exchange periods of fasting and eating <\/strong>at set intervals instead. When the food window opens, you can eat what you want.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why so <strong>many celebrities like it<\/strong>, and probably why you see Dwayne Johnson shoveling pancakes and burgers all at once on a Sunday on Instagram.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Intermittent Fasting Schedules and Apps For Weight Loss\" class=\"wp-image-208870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-1-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Popular intermittent fasting methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a few intermittent fasting techniques, as one size doesn\u2019t fit all in this scenario. You can use a <a href=\"https:\/\/fasting-calculator.com\/calculadora-ayuno-intermitente\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">fasting calculator<\/a> to determine the best options of IF methods for you, with the first one being the most popular:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>16:8<\/strong> &#8211; Fasting for 16 hours with an 8-hour period for eating delicious meals, which means a late breakfast and an early dinner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>5:2<\/strong> &#8211; You eat as you normally would for five days, while for the other 2 days, you cut back about 20% of your standard daily calorie intake.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>14:10<\/strong> &#8211; It\u2019s basically the same as the 16:8 diet, but you\u2019ll have more time to eat and less time fasting. You can have your breakfast earlier, but you\u2019ll stop eating by 8 pm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alternate days<\/strong>: As the name says, you\u2019ll eat like normal one day, then fast the entire next day, and so on. The alternative is that you only eat a few calories on alternate days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eat-stop-eat<\/strong>: In this method, you\u2019ll follow the daily motto of E-S-E, which means eating one day, fasting completely the next, then eating the next day again. You\u2019ll start again. That means, you\u2019ll have two days in a row of eating, but only a singular day of fasting in between.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Warrior Diet<\/strong>: This technique is quite different from the others. You\u2019ll start your day snacking on small fruits and vegetables, while you can have one massive meal between 4 pm and 8 pm. It\u2019s not ideal for people who need energy for training or work, but fasting at night helps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"980\" height=\"588\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-2.jpg\" alt=\"Intermittent Fasting Schedules and Apps For Weight Loss\" class=\"wp-image-208869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-2.jpg 980w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-2-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-2-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-2-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Intermittent-Fasting-Schedules-and-Apps-For-Weight-Loss-2-150x90.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top IF apps for weight loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two apps I can recommend if you want to try this form of dieting. <a href=\"https:\/\/fastic-intermittent-fasting.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fastic: Intermittent Fasting<\/a> has some of the methods indicated above, incorporating a <strong>timer<\/strong> that will let you know <strong>when to eat and fast<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/zero-intermittent-fasting.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zero &#8211; Intermittent Fasting<\/a> has similar features, and you can easily track your goals on the application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intermittent fasting has been gaining a lot of ground lately, especially with some of the top actors and athletes.
