Madhavan’s Intermittent Fasting Regimen:
Intermittent fasting, a dietary pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating, has shown positive results for weight loss and overall health. It supports heart health, reduces inflammation, improves cell repair processes, and helps in burning fat by extending the time between meals, thus reducing calorie intake.
Madhavan’s experience underscores the potential of intermittent fasting as a viable and effective weight loss strategy without the need for exercise or medication.
