throughout the entire history of humanity. Although it was forgotten for a long time, it has recently regained popularity because it can bring tangible health benefits: intermittent fasting can lead to weight loss, support the fight against type 2 diabetes, and increase energy levels.

The human body actually operates in only two states: the fed state (high insulin levels) and the fasted state (low insulin levels). In one state, we store reserves, and in the other, we burn them. If both states are balanced, weight gain does not occur.

The most popular model of intermittent fasting is the 16:8 model, which means fasting for 16 hours and eating only during a so-called eating window. This could be, for example, the period from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
