What is Intermittent fasting
is a popular routine followed by many, including celebs, where one follows a specific routine to fast and eat.
According to Apollo Hospitals, “Intermittent fasting is a type of diet that alternates between eating and fasting intervals. This practice focuses on when a person should eat rather than what they should eat. The most commonly followed intermittent fasting method incorporates a daily fasting window of 16 hours and an eating window of 8 hours. This includes consuming all of the day’s calories in an 8-hour eating window and fasting for the remaining 16 hours.”
Keto diet
On the other hand, a keto diet is a low-carb diet, increasing the consumption of protein and fat for faster weight loss.
“Ketogenic is a term for a low-carb diet (like the Atkins diet). The idea is for you to get more calories from protein and fat and less from carbohydrates. You cut back most on the carbs that are easy to digest, like sugar, soda, pastries, and white bread,” explained WebMD on its website.
Does alcohol cause weight gain?
Meanwhile, cutting down on alcohol is said to aid weight loss.
According to Dr Brian Shapiro, a Jacksonville, Fla.-based cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic, if someone quits alcohol and concentrates on good nutrition and exercise, they could lose up to 5 pounds in just one month. “When people drop a few pounds, they often see their exercise performance improve,” he once said, as quoted in a Wall Street Journal report.
