Is that fasting 16 hrs per day every day?
That is what I do, only eat between noon and 8 PM. "Intermittent Fasting" is a term I hear in my circles.
Yes, daily. First time I did this it was hard to make it to 16 hours. First goal is to establish 12. Stay on that for a week, then go 13 hours.
I went head long into 16 and at 14-15 I would get hangry. I would use 5 almonds to make it to 16 hours.
You really need to push and LISTEN to your body. I notice 2 waves of hunger happen. First wave of hunger is easy to let pass. Second wave of hunger happens about 2 hours after that. The body will adapt but don't fall down and break something due to being hyperglycemic.
I will also state that I ate 2 lunches at the start. I did not adjust my daily calorie intake. Over time my body wanted less food and calories came down.
I think you mean hypoglycemic, not hyperglycemic.
Yes, and thank you.
Actually you probably want to monitor both during the day and track over time to see how fasting impacts the range.
