Chasing metrics, managing investors, addressing team…there is no dull moment in a founder’s life.
While hustling through so many responsibilities, fitness takes precedence with the thought –
I DON’T HAVE TIME!

An IIT alumni, Priyanka has seen a lot of ups and downs in her fitness through her early years. Only in her 30s, she realised the importance of developing a healthy lifestyle.
While building her startup, she lost track of fitness regime which resulted in poor stamina, fat gain and poor blood markers.
She then decided to find a way to live a fit life. Later, she got her certifications in Nutrition and Strength conditioning from ISSA, a globally recognized institute.
After leaving her product role at Walmart, Priyanka founded VegFit in 2021, to share her expertise with professionals to help them adopt a sustainable lifestyle around nutrition and strength training.
Priyanka has proven to have achieved her biggest transformation at the age of 40 and says, age is no barrier to getting stronger.
Priyanka loves to coach founders and be their accountability partner in their fitness journey.
Intermittent fasting helps you eat in a calorie deficit by restricting the window of time in which you eat. Fewer calories consumed over time lead to fat loss. But the bigger benefit of fasting is that helps target visceral fat, which is the harmful fat stored around your organs. Reduced visceral fat means reduced risk of health issues.
Important: VegFit recommends a calorie deficit of 200-500 being in the healthy range. Also, a balanced diet is important while intermittent fasting. We strictly discourage crash diets for fast weight loss.
Having a period of going without food every day, helps regulate blood sugar levels and improves insulin sensitivity. During the fasting period, we give our body sufficient time to burn fat for energy and regulate blood glucose levels.
Most of the working professionals complain about low energy levels post meal. This is caused by steep rise and fall in blood sugar levels. Practing Intermittent Fasting over a prolonged period helps regulate blood sugar levels, which means more stable energy levels through the day and reduced feelings of fatigue and lethargy.
Intermittent fasting may stimulate the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that protects existing neurons and promotes the growth of new ones. This is why fasting improves brain cognitive functions which means better focus and mental clarity. This clearly is a long-term benefit of intermittent fasting.
One of the most imp factors of longevity is effective cellular repair, which means body’s ability to undergo a process called autophagy. During this process, body removes and repairs damaged cells and also creates new ones. This translates into reduced risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and heart disease.
Intermittent fasting may have positive effects on heart health by reducing risk factors such as inflammation, high blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Some studies suggest that intermittent fasting can improve markers of cardiovascular health, including blood lipid profiles and heart rate variability, which are important indicators of overall heart function.
Intermittent fasting derives a balance between Ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and leptin (the satiety hormone). This helps reducing hunger pangs and promote the feeling of fullness. Likewise, fasting regulates many such hormones for a better gut function.
