2. How Does This Work Precisely?
There are several ways to do this, and each is adaptable depending on the dieter’s lifestyle:
16/8
This is when the person fasts for 16 hours usually defined as overnight and the hours used for breakfast. Then the person eats two meals in the eight to ten hours left, or the hours used for lunch and supper. There are no midnight fridge raids, no between meal snacks.
5:2
In this version, the person eats normally for five days. For the remaining two, he will only eat 500 to 600 calories.

Alternate
This way of doing it involves eating normally for one day, fasting the next 24 hours, eating normally then fasting and so on.
