4 Rules You Must Follow Before You Do Intermittent Fasting…
It’s Super fashionable these days to do time restricted eating and there are all sorts of claims of benefits, some more proven than others.
What I always say to clients (especially women) is that not everyone is ready for it, or benefits from it.
In fact, it’s been seen on Dexa scans people maintaining weight over a year period but body fat levels WAY up.
Which is pretty much the opposite of why people likely do it.
In reality if your body is working well, its a great tool.
When your body is not working well, it’s a disaster.
So here are 4 rules you MUST obey BEFORE you start fasting for extended periods of time:
1. You do not have energy crashes throughout the day (fatigue, irritable – loss of brain function)
2. No sugar cravings throughout the day
3. You do not notice you feel better after eating
4. You sleep through the night.
If you can’t do the above consistently, fasting isn’t the best step for you.
In fact, you might need to work on different systems.. like how to properly use glucose / fat.
Just thought I’d share as I’m recording a deep dive level 2 training on blood glucose management for our mentorship this weekend.
(which is open for enrolment btw)
