You are unique, and your best rhythm will depend on your goals, your body and your lifestyle. Many people find it helpful to start gently with a 12\/12 fasting approach (12 hours fasting, 12 hours eating), and only experiment with longer fasts like 16\/8 once they feel stable and supported (<a href=\"https:\/\/foodrevolution.org\/blog\/intermittent-fasting-101\/\">Food Revolution Network<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf1f 6 Health Benefits of Intermittent Fasting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When practiced wisely, intermittent fasting can offer real benefits.
