The modern-day pandemic and epidemic has excruciatingly impacted public health. With lockdown being imminent and eternal, it’s very important think about lifestyle diseases like diabetes and obesity on a very serious note. Continuous energy restriction (CER) with a through lifestyle intervention is a mainstay in the treatment of obesity, but this approach is known for its weight loss at regular intervals. This said, in the most recent times, researchers curtailed towards a controlling intake of energy to particular periods in a day or extending the duration of fasting between two meals (intermittent energy restriction, IER). In this short review, we present an integrated approach on prospective benefits of intermittent fasting and five correct ways to return to normal metabolic life, after an excess of food and drink during festive seasons.
