Nothing was processed at all. ALL THE VERY BEST. 👍👍👍.”
Dt Suhani Seth Agarwal, HOD, Dietetics, Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital, Noida, recognizes that long-term, unsupervised intermittent fasting can cause nutrient deficiencies, muscle loss, and metabolic slowing, emphasizing the significance of a comprehensive approach to weight control.
Agarwal broke down the key components of Madhavan’s weight loss approach:
Intermittent Fasting: Dt Agarwal has verified that Madhavan’s weight loss plan used this method of controlled eating cycles. By promoting fat-burning and lowering insulin levels, intermittent fasting can aid in weight loss. This strategy may improve metabolic efficiency in addition to aiding in calorie restriction.
Mindful Eating: He emphasized the necessity of chewing thoroughly (45-60 times per mouthful!) and encouraged people to “drink their food and chew their water” for better digestion and potentially lower calorie consumption. Dt Agarwal concurs, saying that chewing food properly facilitates fullness, aids in the breakdown of nutrients, and prevents overeating.
Early Eating Window: Madhavan ate his last meal by 6:45 p.m. and limited his daily food intake to that time. This is consistent with several strategies for intermittent fasting.
Clean Eating: Nutritious, quickly digested foods were substituted with processed foods, which were strictly forbidden.
Sleep and Hydration: Madhavan underlined the significance of getting enough rest and avoiding screen time before bed. These routines support general health and may help with weight control.
Green Power: Madhavan consumed a lot of green vegetables, which are high in nutrients and have the ability to increase fullness.
Combining these approaches can be beneficial, but for long-term effects and general well-being, they should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and frequent exercise. It is strongly advised to speak with a healthcare provider before making any major dietary adjustments, especially ones like intermittent fasting.
