Intermittent fasting is incredibly beneficial but not if you do these five things!

Timestamps:
0:00 When you’re doing intermittent fasting, don’t do these 5 things
0:58 5/2 fasting is a bit painful because you never really keto adapt
2:30 Don’t omit keto when you’re intermittent fasting!

Here are five things not to do when you’re doing intermittent fasting because they’ll impede or prevent your progress:

1. Consuming branch chain amino acids (BCAAs) or collagen when you’re in the fasting state. Both of these are proteins and will knock you out of ketosis.

2. Going on a schedule called 5/2. Five days of the week you do whatever you eat whatever you want and the other two days you go on a low-calorie diet, maybe 500 calories a day. This isn’t consistent enough to get the benefits of fasting; plus, those 500 calories aren’t really fasting and you never really keto adapt.

3. Omitting salt and electrolytes, which contain minerals but no calories. If you omit these you could experience some health issues. Many people have a subclinical nutrient deficiency or nutritional deficiency as they enter into fasting, which magnifies these deficiencies. The last thing we want is you feeling faint, dizzy, or even passing out. Your body and especially your heart needs electrolytes such as potassium and sodium. Salt will also prevent weakness and fatigue.

4. Eating a huge meal when you break a prolonged fast can create huge problems. Your enzymes aren’t built up and you shock your body with a huge meal after it’s become used to fasting. Instead, eat a small healthy meal, wait a little bit to see how your body responds, and if all is well then have another small healthy meal. If you’re doing one meal a day (OMAD) it’s okay to eat a big meal but not if you’re fasting for several days.

5. Omitting keto when you’re intermittent fasting. I know people who are intermittent fasting but when they eat, they eat whatever they want. What’s the point of getting the incredible benefits of lowering insulin from fasting then putting garbage back into the body? You want to combine healthy keto with intermittent fasting.

Be sure to avoid these five things when you’re intermittent fasting in that way you can get the most benefits.
