12:12 — the natural overnight fast. Great for beginners.\n14:10 — a modest extension, often skipping a late snack or eating breakfast a little later.\n16:8 — a common intermediate rhythm; works well for people who are not hungry in the morning.\n\nCombiFast recommends the gentlest schedule that fits your wake time, bedtime and work rhythm, and adapts it over time.
