I've been doing IF, similar to hte FAST5 method, for about 2 years and I love how easy it is. Your body really gets used to it. Glad you gave it a try!

I find that for me, those blood sugar effects are most common when I've eaten or drank mostly sugar and caffeine (things like juice and coffee alone, or very sugary pastry with a couple of cups of coffee) and haven't followed it up with protein of some sort. That's completely non-scientific, but seems to be what leads up to that feeling. As far as IF in relation to blood sugar, I definitely didn't get that really low blood sugar feeling. In the follow-up to this article I mentioned that around noon I felt a little "jittery", but I think it was more caffeine related than low blood sugar. Your results may be dramatically different - I can't say - but for me, IF was a success.

The old binge eating and blood sugar issues. Both false and supported by much research. Regarding the former, well that's a non-brainer isn't it? IF you binge, THEN fasting for 24 hours is going to cut out a few of those binges out isn't it? AND once you realise that weight loss is about calories in vs calories out, THEN you're obviously going to lose weight. Studies have also shown that EVEN if you DO overeat straight after a fast, then it's still more likely the case that you're still not going to be able to consume as many calories if you' had not fasted. It's a winner all the way. I do find it hilarious that people are 'experts' on the dangers of fasting but have never really read any of the science behind it. The very same people will CONSUME and BUY INTO fad diets and diet products when the real issue is that they are CONSUMING too much in the first place - that's WHY they are fat! Time to consume less. :) Haha, I almost didn’t comment until I read the one above. The old binge eating and blood sugar issues. Both false and supported by much research.
