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.

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.
