As much stress as most cultures give on proper diet and nutrition, they also give on spells of fasting. The principle of "body reduces, spirit gains" encourages people to fast.

But complete fasting or so-called "zero-fasting" is very rarely recommended in Ayurveda as it reduces the digestive fire (Agni) and increases Vata.

This is where intermittent fasting plays an important role. For example, some Ayurveda experts advise reducing your food consumption for a certain period of time, skipping just breakfast and having a light vegetable soup in the evening. They ask the fasting person to keep lunch a light, vegetarian affair (no meat, fish, eggs or even dairy produce). Green and leafy vegetables with easily digested moong daal without oil or ghee is advised.

Yet, some people on intermittent fasting complain that they do not feel any better or healthier, leaner.

In that case, one should be mindful of doing the intermittent fasting correctly.
