Intermittent Fasting: DON'T Make These Mistakes If you're currently following an intermittent fasting protocol or are thinking of starting, make sure you're not making these common mistakes. Intermittent Fasting mistake #1: Starting intermittent fasting WAY TOO FAST and not allowing yourself time to transition slowly. I personally follow a 16/8 protocol where I eat within an 8 hour window and fast for 16 hours. But someone who is used to eating 3 meals a day will find it hard to fast for long periods of time. For that reason, it is wise to start slow and increase the fasting time little by little. For example, if you're used to fasting 12 hours over night, then push breakfast further 1 hour so that you're fasting 13 hours, then as you get used to it, continue adding more hours to your fast until you get to 16. Intermittent Fasting Mistake #2: Not eating enough during your eating window. At first, you may lose weight by not eating enough calories but you'll soon hit a plateau as your Leptin levels decrease and your metabolism slows down. Make sure you consume the amount of calories necessary to support your daily caloric needs. Intermittent Fasting Mistake #3: Not drinking enough water and minerals. During your fasting period your body is detoxifying and in order to flush out toxins, you must drink a lot of water. Since you'll be drinking a lot of water you'll also be flushing out your whole system including minerals. For that reason I always recommend adding some Pink Himalayan Sea Salt to your first cup of water in the morning for some added minerals and electrolytes. So there you have it. Those are 3 common intermittent fasting mistakes that you want to avoid in order to successfully stick to your IF protocol. ================================= Learn about intermittent fasting: http://LeanBodyFormula.net Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/drjoseguevara Become a fan on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/AtlantaChiropractor Follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/drjoseguevara Follow me on Instagram: http://www.Instagram.com/drjoseguevara ================================= Watch More Intermittent Fasting Videos Below: ================================= Intermittent Fasting Schedule: Best Hours for Intermittent Fasting Results https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkAgnvbQjK4 Intermittent Fasting Myths (DEBUNKED by Science) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_PYW3Ic-fE Intermittent Fasting for Weight Loss (INSULIN CONTROL) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NP7VntFCzM Intermittent Fasting: Lose Weight Fast & Fasting Benefits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiUrtN0SWXU 3 Tips for Best Intermittent Fasting Results https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzptLCixSEM Intermittent Fasting: A day in Dr. G’s life (Intermittent Fasting Diet) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-og7kvhKxE What Breaks a Fast While Intermittent Fasting (Is Coffee OK?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFRbAchA55s Intermittent Fasting: DON’T Make These Mistakes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bduqpL83EZo Intermittent Fasting for Women (AVOID these side effects) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=non0c84M4Jk Intermittent Fasting Side Effects (You’ve Been WARNED) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp8pdXCnS4g ================================= https://vimeo.com/312359993 Intermittent Fasting: DON'T Make These Mistakes
