What is “bad” fasting?!
In general, fasting has some amazing benefits when it comes to burning fat, reducing inflammation, and boosting your metabolism.
That being said, ANY kind of fasting that is NOT tailored to support the female hormone cycle is going to do more harm than good!
How does this “bad” fasting impact your body?
– Decreases your estrogens
– Decreases your progesterones
– Reduces/eliminates ovulation
– Decreases cortisol clearance
– Decreases muscle building
So how can you avoid these issues and support your hormone balance while fasting?
– Specific fasting patterns for your estrogen and progesterone phases
– Protecting your cortisol response with proper snacks, hydration and lifestyle practices
– Proper nutrition during your feed windows
I include all of the specifics of this in my coaching programs! If you want to see the benefits of fasting, without throwing off your hormones, I would love to work with you!
