Intermittent fasting: Is it right for your lifestyle?
By Fitholae Nutrition Team · Published · Updated · 6 min read
IF is often just a way to make a calorie deficit easier to stick to. It fits perfectly with a late breakfast or an early dinner.
The 16:8 protocol
Fast for 16 hours, eat within an 8-hour window. This usually means skipping either breakfast or a late-night snack.
Frequently asked questions
Can I drink tea during the fast?
Black tea or green tea without sugar/milk is fine. Traditional chai breaks the fast.
Who should avoid it?
Pregnant women, people with a history of eating disorders, or those with specific medical conditions should consult a doctor.
