Alternate-Day Fasting

Meaning

A structured dietary regimen classified under intermittent fasting, where individuals alternate between a day of complete or near-complete caloric restriction and a day of unrestricted eating. This pattern is clinically investigated for its potential to induce metabolic shifts that promote longevity and improved body composition. It represents a targeted approach to leverage periods of energy deficit for cellular repair and hormonal modulation. Patients considering this approach should consult with a healthcare professional to ensure safety and suitability.
