Brief Summary:
Adults experience high psychological stress due to many factors such as school, workplace, or personal life. Adult women are known to experience higher stress levels than men. Current evidence shows that fasting improves mental health outcomes in men. The research is unclear on fasting interventions and their potential impact on stress levels in women. In this study, investigators will compare two fasting diets over 8 weeks. There will be a control group, one group that fasts for two days per week, and a final group that only eats for 8 hours in the morning. Mental health surveys, brain tests and a blood draw will be done during the study to see any mental or physical changes from the diets. Investigators will study the motivation of women to continue the diet during and beyond the study through online surveys.
