Intermittent fasting at present is one of the most followed dietary methods to lose weight or get healthy

Another reason for the immense popularity of this trend is that the fasting method can be easily paired with another diet, which is believed to provide double benefits

The dietary pattern alternates between the eating and fasting period in which the most crucial part is to fast correctly to reap all the incredible benefits of this dietary habit

If you are fasting for 16 or 14 hours, you must not consume anything that contains calories, as it may break your fast and ruin all your effort

Here is what you can have when fasting

During the fasting you are not allowed to have any solid food as it can cause your body to re-enter the fed state, which lasts for hours till the time your body breaks down and digests your food

Intermittent fasting works on the concept that when your body is not engaged in the process of digesting food, it focuses all its energy on healing itself
