Hi...
I would strongly not recommend Intermittent fasting to anyone.
U are putting your body in a confused state of mind on eating habits and timings.
U cannot maintain this for a long time.
There are many side effects when compared to benefits.

Hi, A well balanced diet and physical activity with lifestyle modification is the only way to achieve fat loss. Also intermittent fasting can increase the acid levels in the body leading to indigestion, Acidity increasing the chances of ulceration.
