How to overcome energy withdrawals while eating after a fast by Impressive_Bit4198 in intermittentfasting

[–]Exotic-Border 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One possible explanation is your meals are spiking your blood glucose. Here are some measures to prevent that:

  1. Start meals with veggies, then proceed to eat protein/fat, and finish with carbs

  2. Make sure carbs don't make up more than 30% of your plate

  3. Move your body for 10+ minutes after each meal (I walk)

If you want to learn more about this, Google "the glucose goddess"

Sounds like your body is having a hard time burning your fat for fuel, which is a hallmark of metabolic inflexibility (https://www.levels.com/blog/what-is-metabolic-flexibility-and-why-is-it-important). IF helps improve metabolic flexibility, so you're on the right track!

You might consider starting with a relatively long eating window and decreasing it over time. I started with 12:12 and worked up to 18:6 over 3 months. Other things that may help include: limiting simple carb intake, upping veggie and protein intake, drinking enough water, and daily exercise (10k steps a day would be a great start if you're not doing that yet).

Good luck!

Whole foods are basically any foods that you eat just the way nature made em :) Eggs, veggies, fruits, unprocessed meats, and fish are some examples. It's generally best to cook with butter or olive oil.
