Krystle D\u2019Souza, recently seen in Dhurandhar, once opened up about her eating habits. \u201cI don\u2019t eat breakfast. I eat lunch, and it\u2019s heavy. Usually, what\u2019s made at home is vegetables, one roti, and some curd. If I am out or on the go, I pick up a salad. That\u2019s what I have for lunch,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Adding, she told Pinkvilla in 2018, \u201cDinner is king-size. I cannot even tell you. I go out every night for dinner, so either Japanese or Asian food. Then I starve for 15 hours and then start again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To verify whether it\u2019s a good routine to follow, we turned to Dr Amreen Sheikh, chief dietitian at KIMS Hospitals, Thane, who affirmed that for some people, structured fasting can work if it fits their lifestyle and energy needs. \u201cA 12 to 15 hour fasting window gives the body time to rest from constant digestion<\/a><\/strong>, which may support metabolism in certain cases. However, it does not suit everyone. Those with demanding schedules, blood sugar changes, or high activity levels may feel low on energy or have cravings later in the day. The key is how the body responds, not just when meals are eaten,\u201d said Sheikh.<\/p>\n

Is eating a heavy, \u2018king-size\u2019 dinner a good idea?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sheikh mentioned that having a very large dinner can sometimes put extra pressure on the digestive system, especially since the body naturally slows down at night. \u201cThis may lead to bloating, discomfort, or trouble sleeping. When most calories are consumed late in the day, the body may not use them as efficiently as with earlier meals<\/a><\/strong>. A balanced dinner that is filling but not too much tends to work better for most people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Can this pattern help with weight management?<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Sheikh, intermittent fasting may help some people control calorie intake, but results depend on the overall quality of food and portion size. \u201cIf the eating window includes large, heavy meals, it can cancel out the benefits of fasting. Sustainable weight management usually comes from consistency, balanced nutrition<\/a><\/strong>, and portion awareness instead of extreme patterns.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is a more practical way to follow such a routine?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of skipping meals entirely, some people may benefit from a lighter breakfast and well-balanced lunches and dinners. \u201cIncluding protein, fibre, and healthy fats in meals<\/a><\/strong> helps maintain steady energy levels. The focus should be on paying attention to hunger cues and keeping the routine flexible rather than strict.\u201d<\/p>\n
