COURSE DESCRIPTION
Certificate Course in Intermittent Fasting (CCIF) is a unique course that covers the basics of intermittent fasting or time restricted eating in a simplified manner.
Intermittent fasting is a type of eating in which people intentionally switch between the eating phase and the fasting phase.
It is possible for individuals, especially with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes, to achieve their calorie restriction goals by changing the meal timing, and also increasing the duration of fasting between meals.
This diet is gaining importance among people who wish to lose their weight, or control metabolic parameters like blood glucose. Latest research evidence suggests several benefits of time restricted eating, including in ageing, when done under guidance of a dietician or a healthcare professional.
Despite the emerging evidence, many healthcare professionals and the general public are not aware about the principles of intermittent fasting, who may gain most from practicing intermittent fasting, in whom it is not advisable, and how to incorporate intermittent fasting into one’s day-to-day life.
This course will help you get a good grasp of the important concepts related to intermittent fasting in an easy to understand manner.
You will also learn some of the practical aspects related to different types of intermittent fasting through three case studies.
The course has been designed in the form of nine compact modules, which include a mix of interactive material and lecture videos, as well as case studies.
There is a post-test after six of the modules to assess the learning progress.
The entire course can be completed in about four to six hours.
The online format allows for learning at one’s own pace, across multiple formats like desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile.
You can earn a Certificate from the CDI E-Learning Academy in a short time by going through the entire course content and clearing the Exit Exam at the end of the course.
