Intermittent fasting is a meal timing schedule that cycles between voluntary fasting for an extended period and eating. Fasting can be 12 hours or the more popular 16/8 method. According to some researchers, fasting for 12 - 16 hours can cause the body to turn its fat stores into energy, which releases ketones into the bloodstream resulting in weight loss.

CYP Pro App already does intermittent fasting for 12 hours if you choose to have 5 meals per day. If your first meal is at 7 am, your last meal will be at 7 pm with that option. Therefore, you are 12 hours on and 12 hours off. If you are interested in the 16/8 method, you can skip your first meal on the App and start your second meal one hour later than the suggested time resulting in an 8-hour window for eating your meals. Feel free to have black coffee, tea, or water during your fasting period.

Other than weight loss, scientists have found potential benefits to intermittent fasting such as lower blood sugars, better cholesterol, decreased inflammation, and improved brain function. Also, not worrying about counting calories can be less stressful making it easier to stick to the program long term. Create Your Physique App is a helpful tool with intermittent fasting.
