New Delhi: Losing weight is not just about the vanity reasons, but it is about being and feeling healthy. Being overweight or being obese has been linked with various health issues, that can cause chronic diseases such as cancer, and type 2 diabetes. However, losing weight is not a cake walk, and one can find themselves confused with so many tips and options marketed as ways to lose weight.
Perhaps, losing weight in an unhealthy way, with fad and crash diets, and over-exerting yourself with workouts is even worse. Intermittent fasting is a diet method that people follow around the world. It has been proven to be healthy, not just for weight loss, but also generally for the body.
This method focuses more on when you eat, instead of what you eat. There are many ways to practice intermittent fasting, but two of the most popular ones are 16:8 and 5:2.
During intermittent fasting, one is supposed to eat during certain times, and fast the other times. For instance, in the 16:8 diet pattern, people eat for the 8 hours during the day and fast themselves for the other sixteen. Similarly, in 5:2, people eat normally during the 5 days of the week, and fast during the other two.
Even as you follow intermittent fasting for weight loss, it is important to note that eating junk, or unhealthy food during the hours that you can eat will not lead to weight loss. It is also not healthy for your body generally. Here are 5 foods you must add to your diet during intermittent fasting to stay healthy and lose weight quickly.
