Definition
Intermittent fasting restricts eating to a specific window (commonly 16:8 — 8 hours eating, 16 fasting). It does not inherently cause more fat loss than standard calorie restriction, but many people find it easier to maintain a deficit because it reduces snacking opportunities and simplifies meal planning.
Real questions
Does intermittent fasting burn more fat?
No — total daily calories determine fat loss. IF is a tool for adherence, not a metabolic magic bullet.
Can I build muscle while fasting?
Yes, if total protein and calories are sufficient. Training fasted may reduce performance slightly for heavy compounds.
