Certificate in Intermittent Fasting Diet

The Certificate in Intermittent Fasting Diet has been developed by the Centre for Nutrition and Dietetics Studies at IGMPI to equip professionals with comprehensive knowledge of the scientific principles, dietary applications, and health implications of intermittent fasting. It provides a scientific and practical framework for implementing time-restricted eating. Intermittent Fasting focuses on when to eat rather than what to eat, helping improve metabolic health, support weight loss, enhance insulin sensitivity, and promote longevity through natural processes. It’s a simple yet powerful dietary strategy increasingly used in clinical nutrition, fitness coaching, and disease management.

 This certificate programme addresses foundational topics including metabolic mechanisms such as autophagy and insulin sensitivity, popular fasting protocols, comparative analysis with caloric restriction, and the impact on weight management and chronic disease prevention. The programme also covers hydration strategies, transition meals, safety considerations, and ethical counseling practices. Through case studies and current research, the programme prepares participants to design personalized, evidence-based intermittent fasting plans that promote metabolic health and wellbeing in clinical, community, and wellness settings.
