Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most popular intermittent fasting protocol?

16:8 (16 hours fasting, 8-hour eating window) is the most popular. Many people eat between 12pm–8pm, skipping breakfast. It's sustainable, compatible with social eating, and has good research support.

Can I drink during the fasting window?

Water, black coffee, and plain tea don't break a fast. Any calories, including cream in coffee, technically break the fast. However, small amounts of cream (under 50 calories) have minimal impact on the metabolic benefits of fasting.
