The two types of non religious fasting are intermittent fasting or time restricted eating

These are popular strategies for weight and glucose management

The difference between religious and non religious fasting is water intake

Intermittent fasting includes three main forms of restricted eating
1. Alternate day fasting : Energy restriction of 500-600 calories on alternate days
2. The 5:2 diet : Energy restriction of 500-600 calories on consecutive or non consecutive days with usual intake on the other five
3. Time restricted eating: Daily calorie restriction based on window of time 8-15 h

These fasting strategies yields mild to moderate weight loss (3-8%) over short durations(8-12 weeks).

Because of the simplicity of intermittent fasting and time restricted eating this maybeuseful Strategies for people with diabetes who are looking for practical eating management tools.

Use of partial or total meal replacements is an additional strategy for energy restriction. Meal replacements include pre packaged foods like bar,shakes and soup that contains fixed amount of macronutrients and micronutrients


Studies have shown incorporating both partial and total male replacements, greater weight loss and improvements in A1c and fasting blood glucose where demonstrated compared with conventional meal plans.


Chrononutrition is an emergi nutrition sub speciality aimed towards increasing the understanding of how the timing of food injection affects metabolic health. Glucose metabolism follows circadian rhythm through diurnal variation of glucose tolerance and peaks during daylight, when food is consumed. Some preliminary studies show cardiometabolic benefits when food is consumed earlier. Similarly circadian disruptions found in shift workers increase risk of type 2 diabetes.
