All sorts of acronyms get bandied about – there’s the 5:2, the 16:8, the Fast 800, intermittent fasting (IF) and alternate-day fasting (ADF).

This is the most popular form of intermittent fasting, known as the 16:8 method. If you are intermittent fasting, this will happen while you are asleep, Browne says.
