Most diets focus on the type or quantity of food you’re supposed to be eating, but intermittent fasting is all about when you eat your meals. It is a popular technique where you switch between phases of eating and not eating. The latter doesn’t have to last long enough for you to feel extremely hungry or fatigued but should stretch enough to ensure that your digestive system is getting some well deserved rest. Think of it like an eating pattern rather than a conventional dieting regimen. “This technique gives your gut a fresh start, and it actually works because it provides a sense of balance to our diets and after all, life is about balance. The same applies to eating and fasting. They’re both two sides of the same coin, both equally important” says Shweta Shah, celebrity nutritionist and the founder of EatFit24/7.
