Intermittent fasting is a style of feeding where you divide your day in two parts, in one part you eat and in the other you fast, you don't ingest any food, except water or some tea, this is divided in several cycles. This will cause the body to enter into a condition that causes it to start burning fat and this is part of what I will tell you in detail, with long years of scientific studies that have been done with promising results.
If you adopt intermittent fasting one of the benefits you will have is that you will start to lose weight, but let me tell you that that is almost the smallest benefit you will have, because intermittent fasting has a lot of benefits in addition to taking care of the body.
