Dear G. Drethi, Thank you for the question

Intermittent Fasting is recommended for specific health conditions and should be followed under the supervision of health care professionals.
It is specified for different individuals’ basis different metabolic rate, need and fitness goal. Ideally for apparently individuals without any underlying medical conditions the ideal time duration for Intermittent fasting is when you can eat during 6-8-hour window period and fast for the remaining 14- 16 hours.

Weight management as a journey requires steady and systematic changes and any diet specified for weight management under professional guidance takes time to show results as body adapts to the changes steadily.

For women, low haemoglobin levels are identified as less than 12g/dl. One of the common most reasons for Low haemoglobin can be due to Iron-deficiency anaemia which is the most common nutritional deficiency observed in women
The richest sources of heme iron in the diet are lean meat and seafood and non-heme sources include nuts, beans, dark green leafy vegetables, and fortified grain, , milk, whole grains, legumes and dry fruits etc.

For further diagnosis, guidance, and specific diet plans please contact your health care professional
