Fasting: questions
Is intermittent fasting better than normal calorie reduction?
Several trials show similar weight loss to conventional calorie restriction for many people. The best approach is usually the one you can keep up comfortably.
Who should avoid fasting?
People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a history of eating disorders, have diabetes or take medicines that need food, are underweight, or are under 18 should speak with a clinician before fasting.
Can I drink coffee while fasting?
Plain black coffee or unsweetened tea is commonly allowed during a fasting window. Milk or sugar usually counts as breaking the fast, and caffeine on an empty stomach bothers some people.
Is this medical advice?
No. These are remedies and routines that people report using, with context on where they come from and how much research exists. They are not a recommendation, and they are not a substitute for care from a qualified professional.
