It’s surprising that many celebrities prefer an easier and more natural method to keep fit, slim and healthy: intermittent fasting. As it does not require a strict diet plan and can be flexibly integrated into your daily routine and has a very positive effect on your mental and physical health.
For healthy life and weight loss, intermittent fasting is the certified ancient way to live a balanced life in the present era.
“Fasting is the greatest medicine.” The ancient scholars praised the spiritual importance of timely fasting. Now modern science is aware of the health advances through this simple practice. The best thing is anyone can consciously perform this ancient practice, for it costs neither money nor time but, in fact, saves both. Your body goes into ketosis while you’re fasting, changing the metabolism – how your body breaks down food for energy.

Types of Intermittent Fasting
The most common methods of fasting – alternate days, whole days with a specific frequency per week, and during a set time frame.
- Alternate-day fasting—Alternating between days of no food restriction with days that consist of one meal that provides about 25% of daily calorie needs. Example: Mon-Wed-Fri consists of fasting, while alternate days have no food restrictions.
- Whole-day fasting—1-2 days per week of complete fasting or up to 25% of daily calorie needs, with no food restriction on the other days. Example: The 5:2 diet approach advocates no food restriction five days of the week, cycled with a 400-500 calorie diet the other two days of the week.
- Time-restricted feeding—Following a meal plan each day with a designated time frame for fasting. Example: Meals are eaten from 8am-3pm, with fasting during the remaining hours of the day.
