它承諾可以「破解」生物學，而不必忍受計算卡路里或減少碳水化合物的苦差事：只需改變進食的時間，而不一定要改變吃的東西。
Intermittent fasting has become the diet trend of the decade.
It promises to hack biology without the drudgery of counting calories or cutting carbs: simply change when you eat, not necessarily what you eat.

So far the science has seemed supportive. Research suggests that extending the overnight fast may improve metabolism, aid cellular repair and perhaps even prolong life. Nutritionists, however, have long warned that skipping meals is no magic bullet.
