The most common IF method, according to the health news outlet, entails the 16/8 method, Eat-Stop-Eat and the 5:2 method. The most popular method, reportedly, is the 16/8 wherein it involves an 8-hour eating period and 16 hours fasting. For example, if the eating window period is between 9 in the morning until 6 in the evening, the fasting window period will be between 6 in the evening to 9 in the morning.

The Eat-Stop-Eat method reportedly involves a once or twice a week fasting for 24 hours. For example, not eating dinner on a Monday until dinner on a Tuesday.

As for the 5:2 method, one can reportedly eat his or her regular meal for 5 days but limit him or herself in a 500 to 600-calorie intake for 2 non-consecutive within the week.
