Intermittent fasting can be helpful for weight loss. But, it is not necessary that if it works for others, then it will also work for you. It can lead to low energy levels, hunger pangs, and even acidity issues. In the long run , it can also lead to nutrient deficiency if the meals are not properly planned.
So better is to opt for a plan required by you. Get your analyses done and go accordingly

No it's not recommended in the long run, once the targets are achieved, it should be stopped & come back to the 5-6 meal plan. Three main (B'fast lunch n dinner) & 3 short meals in between the main meals.
For personalised guidance & more details contact directly.
