What is 16:8 intermittent fasting?

16:8 means you fast for 16 hours and eat all your meals within an 8-hour window each day — for example, eating between noon and 8 pm and fasting the rest of the time. This calculator turns your chosen method and first-meal time into exact eating and fasting windows.

Does intermittent fasting help you lose weight?

Fasting helps mainly by making it easier to eat fewer calories — the eating window itself is not magic. Weight loss still comes down to a calorie deficit, so pair fasting with a sensible calorie target.
