Intermittent fasting

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article is in a field of study that I am currently doing research in, and I feel as thought there is room for improvement. Some important information is not mentioned and the overall structure is unbalanced.

Evaluate the article
The article does a good job at introducing what intermittent fasting is, however there are other methods of fasting not mentioned. Secondly, the descriptions of the different fasts while understandable to me may not be so clear to unexposed readers. I think that it could use some simpler explanations while maintaining the overall definitions.

There are also some organizational issues that are somewhat distracting to readers. Such as the last line in the introductory paragraph that randomly inserts a reference to religious fasting. The article contains a whole section devoted to religious fasting so this topic sentence is unnecessary.

The article has good and credible sources. It is neutral and does not make one diet trend seem more important than the other.

However, towards the end of the article, the information and paragraphs seem to dwindle and do not contain a whole lot of information. It seems like someone started writing and started nearing a deadline and just had to throw something together. More elaboration within those sections, or omission of those sections should be considered. Yet, the beginning of the article is organized and balanced well.
