I am thinking about starting intermittent fasting.  What do I need to know?
<|assistant|>
Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern in which you restrict your eating window to certain time periods every day, while allowing yourself complete freedom during fasting periods. It helps people manage their weight, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and even boost mental clarity and mood. To successfully execute intermittent fasting, you need to be aware of how the different elements of the eating plan work together. Be sure to consult your healthcare professional before implementing it into your lifestyle.
