In reply to Priya Thomas. Hi Priya. They can, anyone can, although I would not ‘recommend’ using fasting as a form of weight loss during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I would wait until the breastfeeding is finished.

Although the word “fasting” sounds scary, intermittent fasting is taking the diet world by storm. You would not loss energy in your body if you try eating high-fiber foods, such as nuts, beans, fruits and vegetables, and high protein foods, including meat, fish, tofu, or nuts, during your eating window. Also, drink lots of water.

Fasting for 12 hours type of intermittent fasting plan may be a good option for beginners. Also this should encourage weight loss. Intermittent fasting cause the body to turn its fat stores into energy, which releases ketones into the blood stream.

Intermittent fasting promotes improved body composition, lowers disease risk, and can improve brain function, As explained in the article Some recommend 16:8, Some suggest 5:2, (which requires that you fast and eat roughly 500 calories for two consecutive days). The good thing about intermittent fasting is that these variations allow you to find the option that’s right for you.

Some fasting proponents prefer shorter, more targeted fasts, especially for those who work out and are interested in improving both health and body composition. I started gradually: by simply pushing back my meals a bit. Try eating half an hour or an hour later than normal. Our appetite hormones are driven largely by our routines. They make us hungry when we expect to be hungry.

That said, it’s important to note that intermittent fasting isn’t a diet. It’s simply a schedule for eating.
Personally, I do a daily fast where I eat all of my meals in an 8–hour window (for example, from 10am to 6pm) and then spend the rest of the day and night fasting.

In reply to Pete_Gawtry. This is very valuable information on intermittent fasting. However I have one question, can overweight women fast during pregnancy and after birth during breast feeding? My feeling is that is not good for the child, isn't it?

In reply to Kolitha Dissanayake. Thank you Kalitha. Yeah it’s not a particular diet, rather a way life and way of eating!
