TWT: When to Never Start a Fast

Intermittent fasting is one of the best things you can do for your overall health and longevity…

But if it is done incorrectly it may just do more harm than good…

So how can you set yourself up for success and use intermittent fasting to your advantage and not to your detriment?

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. Big Meal Night Before

What you do the night before you begin a fast sets the stage for the next morning. A big meal (especially a “cheat” meal) in the evening may affect your blood sugar and neurotransmitters that next morning making fasting more difficult or detrimental.

2. Alcohol

Drinking alcohol the night before may cause a drop in blood sugar and spikes stress hormones throughout the night.

3. Buffer

Allow for one buffer day in between a cheat meal or consuming alcohol to help your body reset, so you can start your fast with balanced blood sugar and stabilized hormones.
