“In the intermittent fasting diet, it doesn’t matter what and how much you eat as long as you follow the time intervals.” Is this true?
The diet doesn’t work like that. As is in every diet, there are certain prohibitions and limits to intermittent fasting.
For example, you should avoid alcohol consumption during the IF diet.
Apart from these, you need to completely abandon the intake of refined sugar and keep your carb consumption to a minimum.

Just have to stick to your diet. We will handle the ‘recipes and what to cook’ part.
