If you\u2019re new to fasting, <strong>start with the 16:8 Bulletproof intermittent fast. <\/strong>This involves fasting for 16 hours and eating during an eight-hour window, with the addition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/dave-asprey-bulletproof-coffee\/\">Bulletproof Coffee<\/a>. For example, after a night\u2019s sleep, you could drink a cup of Bulletproof Coffee in the morning, eat lunch at noon (or later), eat dinner, and stop eating at around 8:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other types of intermittent fasting include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The 5:2 fast:<\/strong> Eating normally for five days of the week and eating 500 to 600 calories on the other two days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>One Meal a Day (OMAD): <\/strong>Fasting for 23 hours and only eating in a one-hour window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alternate-day fast: <\/strong>Fasting every other day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multi-day fasts: <\/strong>Fasting for four to five days or even longer\u2014typically for people who are more experienced with fasting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Understanding the Intermittent Fasting Rhythms and Getting Started<\/strong><br><br>Asprey suggests beginners start intermittent fasting with the 16:8 rhythm, but, if you\u2019re looking for a more detailed guide to follow, Gin Stephens outlines in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/fast-feast-repeat\/preview\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>Fast. Feast. Repeat<\/em><\/a> three plans you can choose among to map out your first month of intermittent fasting:<br><br><strong>Option 1 (Easy): <\/strong>Follow a 12:12 pattern (fasting for 12 hours and eating for 12) in Week One, 14:10 in Week Two, 16:8 in Week Three, and 18:6 in Week Four.<br><br><strong>Option 2 (Medium): <\/strong>Follow a 16:8 pattern in Week One, 17:7 in Week Two, 18:6 in Week Three, and 19:5 in Week Four.<br><br><strong>Option 3 (Hard): <\/strong>Follow an 18:6 pattern in Weeks One and Two, 19:5 in Week Three, and 20:4 in Week Four.<br><br>Throughout these four weeks, Stephens encourages you to maintain your usual diet, since changing the foods you eat can make it harder for you to adjust to intermittent fasting.<br><br>These different types of intermittent fasting all fall into one of two patterns of fasting\u2014<em>time-restricted eating<\/em> and <em>alternate-day fasting<\/em>. According to Stephens, each offers unique benefits:<br><br><strong>Time-restricted eating (TRE):<\/strong> For this type of fasting, you divide each day into a fasting period and an eating period. This includes the 16:8 and OMAD fasts, as well as others like 18:6 (fasting for 18 hours and eating for six). According to Stephens, TRE is effective if you want to maintain weight.<br><br><strong>Alternate-day fasting (ADF): <\/strong>For this type of fasting, you alternate between days of fasting and days of eating normally. This includes the 5:2 fast and \u201cTrue ADF,\u201d which is fasting every other day. Stephens writes that ADF is more effective for intensive fat loss. She approves of eating a 500-calorie meal on fasting days but says going without food entirely can enhance fat burning.<br><br>While multi-day fasts can be beneficial for more experienced practitioners, Stephens recommends you <br>don\u2019t try anything beyond a 72-hour fast without medical supervision because fasting can be hard on your body. She says extended fasts can often have negative consequences because when your body thinks it\u2019s starving, it reduces your metabolism and triggers strong hunger signals. This can lead people to binge eat after a long fast, resulting in rapid weight gain.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the different types of intermittent fasting?
