Never thought you would try Intermittent Fasting?

I didn’t either, so I understand the reservations. I was in the exact same mindset a few years ago.

And 99 pounds ago.

Here are some of the things I either said to myself before trying IF, or heard others say:

  • If I don’t eat every few hours, I feel terrible – sweaty, lightheaded, shaky, headache, weak and grouchy. I could not possibly try intermittent fasting!

  • But you don’t understand! I am otherwise healthy without underlying health problems, but I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia by a doctor and I have to eat every 2 hours to keep my blood sugar up.

  • I take medication for my diabetes and the Diabetic Educator told me I had to eat 3 meals and two snacks daily in order to control my blood sugars.

  • I will be weak and tired if I skip a meal!

  • I thought breakfast was the most important meal of the day!

  • I’ve heard my metabolism will go down and I will lose muscle. I don’t want that.

  • People will judge me and say I shouldn’t do this and I will be embarrassed and won’t know what to say.

  • My doctor does not believe in intermittent fasting and tells me it is a “fad.”

These are all thoughts, and none of them are true.
