Understanding Overnight Intermittent Fasting
Overnight intermittent fasting involves dedicating a specific portion of the night to your fasting period. This method is often favored by beginners because a significant part of the fasting window occurs while you are asleep.
Key Aspects of Overnight Fasting
- Timing: You can choose a 12-hour overnight fasting period, such as from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.
- Rules: It's essential to finish your last meal before the eating window closes in the evening.
