But if you are obese, diabetic, or have any chronic nutritional issues, it is unwise to start intermittent/fasting without consulting a doctor or nutritionist. You should be monitored, because you can do severe damage to your gallbladder and kidneys if you are careless.
Otherwise, intermittent fasting is one of the best methods for weight loss (unless you are extremely disciplined and are very good at reducing calories in a normal, balanced diet -- I am not). And 3-5 day fasts are great to do on occasion to reset your diet and cravings. But again, obese, diabetic, etc., should consult their doctor/nutritionist first.
This is very true.
