Does fasting increase adrenaline, causing stress? Let’s talk about that. No, I don’t believe fasting causes stress.

It’s true that the pre-adrenaline hormone or neurotransmitter noradrenaline increases by about 48%. But, your resting metabolic rate also goes up. So, fasting actually helps your metabolism.

During fasting, you’re in ketosis. You’re living on fatty acids and ketones. In order to mobilize this fat, you have to stimulate the fat-burning hormones and adrenaline. Adrenaline is there to mobilize the fat.

Short-term fasting can elevate cortisol, which is a stress hormone. But, this is a normal process. Cortisol helps mobilize stored sugar. It’s actually involved in preventing hypoglycemia. But, long-term fasting decreases cortisol.

Fasting on a regular basis may actually make people feel more calm, relaxed, and stress-free.
