So many people can benefit from part-day fasting, says accredited practising dietitian and nutritionist Jaime Rose Chambers. The reason she loves this method and uses it herself - and suggests it to many of her patients - is that it is the most user friendly and, she believes, the easiest health strategy to work into most lifestyles. Almost anyone can benefit from intermittent fasting on some level because it's flexible and not too extreme. It's also safe for most people, and as long as there is a focus on eating a (mostly) nutritious diet with some variety, nutritional needs can be met with no compromise.
