Intermittent Fasting 101
The underlying principle behind fasting in intervals is skipping a meal thus creating a calorie deficit which in turn results in weight loss. The fasting phase usually involves skipping either major meal of the day. But the science is more complex than this. When the body enters into the fasting phase, all the metabolic and catabolic activities in the body stop and as a result, the body starts deriving its energy needed for functioning from the stored fats thereby causing weight loss.
