Intermittent fasting (IF)
Is IF good to follow for weight loss or general health?
It's easy for me to not overeat in a day if I do IF, because I just have to be alert about food for 6-8 hours a day. Otherwise it's exhausting to control food quality and quantity for 16-17 hours a day.

Hi ,
Even before I answer to your question it’s very essential for you to know that every professionals way of work is absolutely different in their own way & style of their studies, exposure & experience so kindly don’t get confused or feel confused instead it will be wise if you can talk to any professional once you check out their qualifications and working expertise
Well coming to your question I would highly highly recommend you Intermittent Fasting if you want to maintain your general well being and good health with no disease condition.
But if you have a goal to loose weight or to reverse any disease condition I would insist talk it out to any professional dietitian personally to be able to get a sustainable yet practical diet routine in place

Also you are right in a way that always thinking about food and what to eat doesn’t really help so taking your charge in maintaining the quality & quantity of food during your follow through of I.F is way easier

Healthy morning,
Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern where we cycle between periods of eating and fasting. It does not specify anything about the type of foods consume but restrict time of eating and fasting
The most common pattern of intermittent fasting that 16/8 , where people eat for 8 hours and then fast 16 hours. You can consume liquid zero calories like black tea , coffee and green tea in fasting window
This is quite simple and effective way to restrict calories and fat burn.
Next Steps
Kindly consult with me for detailed discussion and customised diet plan through Practo
Health Tips
The basic principle behind intermittent fasting is that body heals while fasting which means the body is free from the work of digestion and focus on repairing and healing working of body like producing hormone, maintaining physical and mental health and aid in fat breakdown.
