Dear Viepr, Thank you for the question
Excess fasting or consuming very low calorie diet can lead to malnutrition, chronic fatigue, affect metabolism etc. As a general dietary guideline, for an apparently healthy individual/ with no specific health or nutrition needs and/or metabolic condition it is recommended to consume 2000kcal/d and the RDA for protein requirement is 54g/d for men.
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. For further details and specific guidance please contact your healthcare professional or registered dietitian.
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 should be followed under professional guidance & it is also critical to note that the changes take time to show results as body adapts to the changes steadily.
Hope we have answered your query.
Wishing you a great day ahead.
