    IF is Intermittent Fasting. There are several methods that fall under the category. Many people just limit the hours in which they eat their calories. So a person doing 16:8 would eat 2,000 calories (or whatever calorie allotment they have set for themselves) during a set 8hr window of their choosing. They would then fast and drink water or 0 calorie beverages for 16hrs. For example, someone might fast from 5pm until 9am and then eat normally from 9a-5p. Or the window could be to eat from 12noon-8p and fast from 8p-12noon. A 20:4 approach would be fasting for 20hrs and eating for 4. Again, eating at a healthy number of calories.

    There's actually a ton of interesting research about how fasting affects insulin and the bodies metabolism. Fascinating if you ask me. (Botnthat you did
