How does intermittent fasting affect fat loss?

Intermittent fasting (IF) can be an effective way to lose fat. IF involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting, which can help reduce calorie intake and improve metabolism. Common methods include the 16/8 method (fasting for 16 hours and eating during an 8-hour window) and the 5:2 method (eating normally for 5 days and restricting calories for 2 days). Ensure you maintain a balanced diet during eating periods.
