Intermittent Fasting Regimens

Meaning

Intermittent Fasting Regimens are structured eating patterns that cycle between periods of voluntary food restriction and non-restricted eating, purposefully inducing metabolic shifts to enhance cellular health and metabolic flexibility. These regimens are not diets in the traditional sense but rather strategies for energy timing, designed to leverage the body’s natural response to nutrient deprivation. Common approaches include time-restricted eating (e.g., 16/8 protocol) and periodic longer fasts, each targeting distinct physiological benefits.
