In this video Doctor O'Donovan explains 5 different methods or ways to do INTERMITTENT FASTING, including how each one works and the benefits and downsides of each - this includes overnight fasting, 16:8 fasting, 5:2 fasting and whole day fasting (24 hour fast).

Intermittent fasting is when you alternate between periods of eating and fasting. This type of eating is often described as “patterns” or “cycles” of fasting.

Intermittent fasting isn’t about starving yourself — it’s about cutting way back on calories for short time periods. The belief is that your body becomes satisfied with smaller portions while also reducing cravings for unhealthy snack foods. That is, as long as you maintain a healthy diet while trying it all out.

In the video we cover:

00:00 - Introduction
01:05 - Overnight Fasting
02:00 - Time restricted fasting (e.g. 16:8)
03:13 - 5:2 method
04:08 - Whole day fasting
05:37 - Alternate day fasting

Many diets focus on what to eat, but intermittent fasting is all about when you eat.
With intermittent fasting, you only eat during a specific time. Research shows fasting for a certain number of hours each day or eating just one meal a couple days a week may have health benefits - for example for loosing weight and for better control of diabetes.
