Jinsi ya kukokotoa Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent Fasting ni nini?

Intermittent fasting (IF) cycles between periods of eating and fasting. The most common protocols are 16:8 (fast 16 hours, eat within 8-hour window), 18:6, and 5:2 (two 500-600 kcal "fast days" per week). Benefits include improved insulin sensitivity, metabolic flexibility, and appetite regulation.
