Absence
According to definitions.net, Intermittent Fasting involves alternating cycles of fasting and eating. In a 24-hour period, it is best to have a smaller window of eating. It does not say what you can or cannot eat. It just asks for you to restrict eating to a small window of time of your choosing.

\nDr. Mindy Pelz (2018) Intermittent fasting is where you eat all the food you want in a short period of time. When I am intermittent fasting, I eat my meals between noon and 8 pm, giving myself 16 hours in a fasted state. Research proves that fasting for 15-18 hours provides the best health benefit.
\nWhat is autophagy?
\nA fundamental process for degrading and recycling cellular components. The word autophagy originates from the Greek words auto-, meaning \u201cself\u201d, and phagein, meaning \u201cto eat\u201d. Thus, autophagy denotes \u201cself-eating\u201d. This concept emerged during the 1960\u2019s, when researchers first observed that the cell could destroy its own contents by enclosing it in membranes, forming sack-like vesicles that were transported to a recycling compartment, called the lysosome, for degradation. (\u2026) Ohsumi\u2019s discoveries led to a new paradigm in our understanding of how the cell recycles its content. His discoveries opened the path to understanding the fundamental importance of autophagy in many physiological processes, such as in the adaptation to starvation or response to infection. Mutations in autophagy genes can cause disease, and the autophagic process is involved in several conditions including cancer and neurological disease.
