Fact: IF is NOT a diet. It's simply a pattern of eating where you cycle between periods of fasting & eating.

Fact: It's very important to eat enough food/meet your caloric needs during your eating window. If you aren't able to hit your calorie/macro goals, you may need to open your fasting window a little. Nutrition is key & trumps fasting. Where it can help w/calories is making you more aware of habits like mindless snacking late in the evening or bites, licks & tastes when you're making your kids' breakfast or lunches in the am. Those little things add up & you could be eating more than you think.

Fact: IF is not one size fits all. Lifestyle, age, hormones, & other factors will help determine the protocol that's right for you. This is something I help my clients with.

Fact: Yes you can! If you only fast for 12-14 hrs you could be eating your 1st meal early in the am. However, even if you break your fast at 11am, there's nothing stopping you from eating breakfast-type foods at that time.

Fact: Not drinking enough water can lead to headaches, fatigue, & dizziness. Proper hydration is essential & adding electrolytes to your water can help. Also make sure you're eating enough food during your eating window.

Fact: More isn't better. Sometimes fasting for too long can be another stressor on a potentially already stressed out body.

Fact: Not necessarily. This often comes down to personal preference & experience. Some find fasted workouts ideal, while others feel & perform better in a fed state, especially for intense training sessions. The key is to pay attention to your body, ensure you are progressing in your fitness goals, & make adjustments to your eating/workout schedule as needed when IF.

Fact: You should NOT ignore hunger cues. Hunger cues are a sign of a healthy metabolism. If you never feel hungry, that's not a good thing!!
