'''Intermittent fasting''' ('''IF''') is an umbrella term for various diets that cycle between a period of [[fasting]] and non-fasting during a defined period. Intermittent fasting can also be used
== Variations ==
Most popular intermittent fasting protocols can be grouped into 2 categories: whole-day fasting and time-restricted feeding (TRF).
* ''Whole-day fasting'' involves regular one-day fasts. The strictest form would be ''Alternate day fasting'' (ADF). This involves a 24-hour fast followed by a 24-hour non-fasting period.<ref name="varady">{{cite journal|pmid=21410865|year=2011|author1=Varady|first1=K.
