Nutritionist Avni Kaul says, in actual terms, intermittent fasting (IF) means cycling through periods of voluntary abstinence of food (or significant reduction of calorie), infused with intervals of normal food intake.
What is Intermittent Fasting?
Unlike some unusual nutritional plans, intermittent fasting needs minimal effort you simply do not eat, or eat very limited quantities, for hours at a time. No meal preparation, counting calories, or restaurant guesswork.
But there are various ways to go about the diet. Some intermittent fasting proponents maintain time-restricted eating, squeezing all the meals into an 8 to 10-hour period, followed by a 14 to16 hours of the overnight fast. Others opt about the 5:2 diet, which means eating normally for 5 days of the week followed by 2 days of eating 25% of their regular caloric intake (which is around 500 to 600 calories for most of the people). Others normally restrict food intake completely on certain days of the week, relying completely on water, black coffee, and tea to keep off hunger cues.
In this article, Delhi’s top nutritionist and dietitian Avni Kaul talks about 4 potential benefits one can get from intermittent fasting. Here they are:
