FAQ
What is 12/12 intermittent fasting?
12/12 means you fast for 12 hours and eat within a 12-hour window each day. It is one of the gentlest intermittent fasting patterns.
Is 12/12 good for beginners?
Often yes, because overnight fasting already covers much of the window. It builds consistency before longer schedules like 16/8.
How does Limotein help with 12/12?
Limotein puts the countdown first, lets you start from Today, and can keep elapsed time on a home widget while you fast. Fasting tools stay free.
