In this segment, the speaker challenges common festive fasting foods such as sabudana khichdi, kuttu pakode, dhokla, samosa, and chips, arguing that they provide no real health benefit. She then introduces a 16‑hour intermittent fasting protocol, where the interval between dinner and breakfast is kept at 16 hours, most of which coincides with sleep. The speaker claims that this fast activates the body’s “inner physician,” detoxifying organs and eliminating toxins. During the fasting window, only water, coconut water, and vegetable juices are permitted; tea, coffee, milk, soup, fruits, and fruit juices are prohibited.

What does fasting really mean? Sabudana ki khichdi, kuttu ke pakode, vratwala dhokla, singade ke aate ke samose, aloo ke chips. Today we have made fasting into feasting. There's no benefit we get when we fast this way. So how do you fast the right way? The method I'm talking about is 16-hour fasting. Basically, between your dinner and your breakfast, you have to maintain a 16-hour gap. Out of those 16 hours, most of the time though you're sleeping. When you do the 16-hour fast, your body's own inner physician is awakened, going into the depths of every organ, pulling out the toxins lying there and pushing them out of your body. During the 16 hours, you can have water, coconut water, vegetable juices, but no tea, no coffee, no milk, no soup, no fruits, no fruit juice.
