众所周知，间歇性禁食可以提高对降血糖激素胰岛素的敏感性，预防脂肪肝。来自DIFE的DZD科学家发现，间歇性禁食的小鼠胰腺脂肪也较低。发表在《新陈代谢》杂志上的最新研究中，研究人员揭示了胰腺脂肪可能促进2型糖尿病发展的机制。

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting means not eating during certain time slots. However, water, unsweetened tea and black coffee are allowed around the clock. Depending on the method, the fasting lasts between 16 and 24 hours or, alternatively, a maximum of 500 to 600 calories are consumed on two days within a week. The best known form of intermittent fasting is the 16:8 method which involves eating only during an eight-hour window during the day and fasting for the remaining 16 hours. One meal -- usually breakfast -- is omitted.

间歇性禁食

断断续续的禁食意味着在某些时间段内不进食。但是，水、不加糖的茶和黑咖啡可以24小时供应。根据不同的方法，禁食持续16到24小时，或者，一周内两天内最多消耗500到600卡路里。最著名的断断续续的禁食方式是16:8法，它只在白天的8小时窗口时间内进食，其余16小时内禁食。省略了一顿饭——通常是早餐。
