Important Fasting Notice

Intermittent fasting is not suitable for pregnant women, people with eating disorders, or those with medical conditions like diabetes without supervision.

Why Intermittent Fasting Works?

Intermittent fasting works by giving your body longer breaks from food, which lowers insulin levels and boosts fat burning.

For Indians, IF is effective because it only changes meal timings, not food choices—making it easier to follow than restrictive diets.

Common Challenges
Hunger pangs in the initial days
Difficulty avoiding late-night snacking
Confusion about what breaks a fast
Low energy if meals are not balanced
Overeating during eating window
Social & cultural meal timings
