For many, the word fast can be associated with something negative.
But “periodic fasting” is not starving yourself, but getting to know your body.

If you fast regularly and feel good about it, I don’t see any disadvantages to intermittent fasting, says a registered dietitian to NordIQ.

It is easy to confuse hunger with cravings, restlessness and fatigue. Then periodic fasting, in English intermittent fasting, can be a way to get to know your body and its signals, says Josefine Jonasson. Today there are many different variations of intermittent fasting, but one of the most common is the 5:2 method, according to which you eat as usual for five days and fast for two. Another 16:8, where you fast for 16 hours and eat for eight. The point is to divide your time into a “fasting window” and an “eating window”.
