Intermittent fasting
The dietician explained that she combined intermittent fasting with a balanced diet. She practised the 16/8 intermittent fasting method.

She ate only during an 8-hour window each day, leaving the rest of the time for intermittent fasting over 21 days for weight loss. Her day started at 9 AM with a Ghee Tonic for clear, glowing skin and gut health. For breakfast at 10 AM, she had 1 egg, avocado, and sourdough toast. Without any snacks in between, she had lunch at 2 PM, consisting of 30 grams of white rice, 30 grams of chole, and 50 grams of steamed broccoli.
At 4 PM, she drank a glass of vegan coffee protein shake and ate three boiled eggs. Her last solid meal was as early as 6 PM, with a big bowl of creamy pesto vegetable soup for dinner.
