The first few weeks will involve of a ramp up to a full 16-hour fasting period (Week 1 - fast for 12-14 hours per day, Week 2 - fast for 14-16 hours per day, Week 3 - 16 - fast for 16 hours per day). Participants will be allowed to consume calorie-free beverages, tea, black coffee, sugar-free gum, and they will be encouraged to drink plenty of water throughout the entire intervention period.
