This Alexa Skill helps you to keep track of your 8 hours interval for the 16/8 method with your intermittent fasting. With the the 16/8 method you can at every day for 8 hours normally and fast the other 16 hours. So you don't need to remember when you started eating each day you can use the Skill to get a reminder when the 8 hours interval has ended. For this you have to give the skill the permission to send you reminders. You will be asked for this permission when you first try to start the interval.
If you start with your breakfast at 8 a.m. you can start your 8 hours interval and you will get a reminder sent to your Echo device at 4 p.m. in the afternoon. You are unable to get going in the morning and you don't want quit supper? Then drop your breakfast and start your interval at lunch.
There are two ways to start your interval. On the one hand you can start it directly. Then Alexa Skills stops immediately after setting the reminder:
- "Alexa, open Intermittent Fasting and start my interval".
This one will work only when you set the permissions for the skill already.
On the other hand you can use the interactive mode. There you can call the help or get a short explanation what intermittent fasting is all about. And you can start your interval as well:
- "Alexa, open Intermittent Fasting" - "Help" - "What does intermittent fasting mean?" - "Start my interval" - "Stop"
In the interactive mode you can ask if you are currently allowed to eat. Depending on the state of your interval you get a notice:
- "May I eat something?" - "How long does the interval take?"
Please take in mind, that you can only have one interval per device, unless you have activated skill personalisation, than you will be able to start one interval per person and device.
