From improving metabolism, increasing energy, balancing cholesterol and insulin sensitivity, the time-restricted eating plan is a scientifically proven way to clear away toxins and improve health

The diet plan focusses on dividing your schedule into specific windows- an eating window and fasting hours.There are six different ways to do so, which work the best for weight loss

Best suited for beginners, skipping meals can help by cutting down calories from your daily diet.

This form of fasting requires a person to fast for 16 hours a day, eat during the remaining 8 hours.

It usually involves 5 days of normal eating (without restrictions), followed by 2 days of calorie restrictions (upto 600 calories)

This method requires a person to go without food for a complete day, i.e. 24 hours, weekly once.

An advanced version of alternate day fasting, a person can choose to fast for 24 hours, every alternate day

This diet plan involves 20 hours of undereating, followed by 4 hours of overeating. This is usually done by eating fairly small meals in a day, followed by a loaded dinner

Any diet, including intermittent fasting, works best when you make your health a priority first. Engaging in brisk physical activity, along with a healthy diet is the key to maintaining a good lifestyle.People with nutritional deficiencies and pregnant women should exercise caution before trying out extreme forms of the diet.
