During intermittend fasting you fast for 12–16 hours or more, you don’t eat anything except water. Many don't realise we all fast anyway, every single day! After dinner at, say, 7 p.m. you don't eat until breakfast. Ever thought about the word 'break'fast? You basically take a break from eating for a longer time.
