Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern in which people abstain from consuming calories for an extended period of time.

Typically this period ranges from 12 to 40 hours and involves alternating cycles of fasting and eating.

If there are problems with the gallbladder: during fasting, the gallbladder does not release bile, which is secreted by the liver.

Therefore, bile becomes very concentrated during fasting.

It is strictly forbidden to constantly eat intermittent fasting; · consultation with a doctor is required - independent experiments with diet and frequency of meals can cause irreparable harm.
