The latest health and wellness craze, called intermittent fasting, has people going without food for up to several days.
A diet that goes against convention wisdom on healthy eating is gaining traction among health nuts, including Hugh Jackman, “4-Hour Workweek” author Tim Ferriss, and tech workers in Silicon Valley. It’s pretty simple, with no calorie-counting or intense exercise regimen involved.
How it works, in a nutshell: Don’t eat during certain hours of the day.
