Sameera maintains that intermittent fasting has helped her manage her weight. In an Instagram Q&A she discussed the method and included a list of dos and don’ts.
"Don’ts
- If you are a beginner, don’t start at 16 hours directly. Start at 12 and gradually build up the hours, constantly checking adaptability with your body.
- Don’t tell yourself that 16 hours is better than 12 as it is not true. What works best for you is true for you,” mentioned Reddy.
- Don’t do two large meals at the start and end of fasting hours. Eat normally throughout the day while maintaining fasting hours.
- Don’t binge on junk and processed foods as this will not allow for digestive recovery, which is the aim of IF.
- Don’t avoid exercise. You need to exercise for good health whether fasting or not.
Dos
- Eat well-nourished meals throughout the day.
- Work on increasing fasting hours gradually.
- Eat according to the individual caloric requirement.
- Break the fast with a nutrient-rich balanced meal rather than only carbs.
- Stay hydrated
- Have a consistent routine and ensure you are taking in enough nutrition to fuel your body.
- To make it holistic, ensure your sleeping pattern is in sync.
- Irrespective of your fasting hours, don’t finish your last meal later than 8 pm."
