Compare the popular windows and avoid the mistakes that stall progress.
Once fasting becomes a habit, the questions change from ‘how do I start’ to ‘which schedule, and am I doing it right?’ This cluster compares the popular protocols — 16:8, 18:6 and OMAD — so you can pick the window that fits your life rather than the one that sounds most impressive.
It also covers the mistakes that quietly stall progress, because for most people results come down to consistency and a few fixable habits, not heroics.
16:8 and 18:6 are the two most popular fasting windows. Here's how they compare and how to choose — and when to move from one to the other.
OMAD (one meal a day) is the most demanding common fasting protocol. Here's how it works, who it suits, and how to try it sensibly.
The mistakes that stall intermittent fasting — from starting too hard to overeating in your window — and simple fixes for each.
