When To Avoid Intermittent Fasting?
Intermittent fasting is a great way to lose weight. However, nothing is perfect for everybody, and four groups of people should avoid intermittent fasting.
- If you’re underweight – If your BMI is below 18, then you don’t have any extra body fat to burn off. There are many tutorials on how to calculate your BMI on Google.
- If you’re pregnant – Your child is growing inside of you. So, don’t restrict yourself. You and your child need the nutrients. Eat healthy though and stay hydrated.
- If you’re breastfeeding – This would be the same reason as above except you would have given birth by now. Your body needs nutrients to produce milk to allow your baby to grow. Eat clean, eat well, and stay hydrated.
- If you’re under 18 – Think again…you are still growing. You’ll need all the right nutrients to reach your full potential. Eat well, be active and only fast if your religion requires it.
