When I discovered intermittent fasting (IF), the practice of eating only within a specific window every day and only drinking calorie-free liquids the rest of the time, I was intrigued and decided to give it a try.
I worked up to a 20:4 schedule, meaning I spend 20 hours a day in a fasting state and make sure I do all of my eating in the remaining four-hour window.
