16:8 is a popular fasting method where you fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8-hour window. This protocol is known to promote autophagy and metabolic flexibility.

Accepted Answer

Autophagy is a cellular 'cleanup' process where your body removes damaged cells and regenerates new ones. It typically begins after 14-16 hours of fasting.

Not necessarily. If you consume adequate protein during your eating window and perform resistance training, you can maintain or even build muscle while fasting.
