About Intermittent Fasting:

When you eat, you store energy in the liver as glycogen. But after 10 to 12 of fasting, your glycogen reserves will be deficient, which means you'll start to convert fat into energy for your body and brain. The longer you fast, the more fat you'll burn.

It is recommended to start with a 12-hour fasting window, then work your way up to a 14 or 16-hour window.

Intermittent fasting has several benefits for your body:

* Improves mental clarity and concentration
