Keywords:
Intermittent fasting, Obesity, Perception, Weight lossAbstract
This study aims to analyze the perception of participants in undergoing intermittent fasting (IF) as a weight loss method in obese patients. The method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach, using purposive sampling techniques on three participants with different experiences: beginner (two weeks), intermediate (three months), and experienced (ten years). The data was obtained through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically. The results showed that the novice participants faced adaptation difficulties such as hunger, weakness, and mood swings, even though they began to see physical results. Intermediate participants felt more stable benefits in the form of improved fitness, diet control, and social support. Experienced participants rated IF as a sustainable healthy lifestyle that positively impacts physical and mental health. It was concluded that IF was perceived as positive, although the initial stage required adaptation. The research suggests emphasizing the importance of mentoring, consistency, and integration with physical activity and balanced nutritional patterns.
