With high-profile devotees like Jennifer Aniston and Jimmy Kimmel singing its praises, Intermittent fasting may be the latest weight loss craze, but it is more than just a diet trend. Intermittent fasting alternates between periods of eating and periods of fasting, with each one lasting a predetermined amount of time.
