Dear Mariam naz, 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 healthy 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.

Ideal body weight for an individual can be calculated using the Broca Index (BI) which is: Ideal Standard Weight (kg) = Ht (cm) – 100

WHO has given different BMI (Body mass index) classifications to categorise adults into different weight categories. BMI is a simple index of weight-for-height. It can be considered as a 2nd level indicator of overall health.

It can be calculated using a simple formula of BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m²)

Following is the WHO BMI Classification

18.5 to 24.9 - Normal

Less than 18.5 - Underweight

25 to 29 - Overweight

Above 30 – Obese

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