I was asked if intermittent fasting changes your nutrient requirements; it’s not a simple answer but I’ll break it down for you.
When you fast, you live off of your reserves unless you’re taking nutrients during your fast. I recommend that you do, because you don’t know if you’re deficient in nutrients. And there are a lot of variables involved, such as:
● What is your current diet? Perhaps you’re doing so-called internet keto, which is eating a random selection of anything low carb.
● Your food may be grown in deficient soil, which is true for a lot of food in the US. It may be deficient in trace minerals such as zinc and iodine.
● Your food may not be nutrient-dense
● Your history of eating junk food; refined foods pull out B vitamins and minerals, especially potassium
● Low stomach acid; let’s say you take antacids, which cause low stomach acid and impair your ability to break down proteins
● Low bile; if you don’t have a gallbladder or it isn't producing enough bile, you won’t be able to absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as you should
● Medication; for example, metformin that pulls out vitamin B1 or diuretics that deplete potassium
● Stress depletes B vitamins and calcium
● Grains, which contain phytates that block zinc, for example
● GI issues, perhaps caused by scar tissue or insufficient villi to absorb nutrients
● Polymorphism is a gene alteration that leaves you unable to absorb nutrients
● Keto; you’re consuming fewer carbs, causing you to dump water. You need more sodium, potassium, and vitamin B2.
Be aware of the difference between water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins for the most part don’t store long-term in your body, with the exception of B12 and maybe vitamin C.
If you have a subclinical deficiency not a severe one, your body rations out nutrients for the most important functions.
Minerals and trace minerals don’t stay long in your body, except under certain conditions.
When you’re doing intermittent fasting I recommend taking B vitamins as well as minerals and trace minerals.
