Fasting is not new. People have been practicing it long before technology and the internet. According to information available on Harvard Medical School blog, studies have proven that intermittent fasting is safe and also very effective. Recently, Novak Djokovic, tennis number one and one of the best-conditioned athletes in the world, revealed that he has been on 16:8 for over a year now. 16:8 is the most common method of intermittent fasting where you eat normally within the 8-hour window and fast in the next 16 hours. Although there are plenty of approaches in this type of diet, 16:8 is the most effective of all.

While some are fine with listing down the time and hours of their fasting on a sheet of paper, most people who undergo intermittent fasting seem to find technology as the best assistant to their fitness journey. Now that different mobile applications are bumping up, there is no reason why apps for intermittent fasting would not be preferred for a more effective journey. If you are one of those who are looking to integrate technology into your intermittent fasting, here are the applications that are worthy to download.
