Intermittent Fasting For Women - Christine Bailey
Chapter 1: Intermittent Fasting as a Woman
PROS AND CONS OF INTERMITTENT Fasting for Women
Even with all the benefits of the intermittent fasting technique, it is unfortunate that women are naturally more sensitive to signals of starvation. This is how it happens. Once your body senses famine, courtesy of the hunger hormones leptin and ghrelin, it prompts the feeling of hunger.
Leptin is the active hormone that controls the appetite. It gives the signal to stop eating when the body has reached its full
state. Once your fast begins, your body stops producing as much leptin. Ghrelin is the hormone that prompts the hunger
mode. Fasting triggers the production of ghrelin, making its levels rise dramatically. You get hungry, and the cravings begin. It also slows the metabolism rate.
This hormone imbalance can disrupt your hormones and lead to the following issues:
Depression and anxiety
Shrinking ovaries
Difficulty sleeping
Fertility issues
Irregular or missed periods (amenorrhea) caused by a lack of leptin in your system
Headaches caused by a drop in blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia) during fasting
You can reduce these problems by choosing the right method. Following are some of the important points to consider before choosing your plan:
The ideal fast is 12-16 hours.
It is highly inadvisable to fast for over 24 hours at a time.
Drink plenty of fluids during your fast.
During your first two to three weeks of fasting, don’t fast on consecutive days. For example, choose to fast for three days instead of seven.
On your fasting days, do only light exercises, including gentle stretching, walking, jogging, or yoga.
Is Intermittent Fasting Suitable for You?
Ask yourself these questions to discover whether any of the intermittent plans will help you:
Do I want to become pregnant?
Am I pregnant?
Have I ever suffered from eating disorders such as anorexia?
Do I have diabetes?
Do I have hypoglycemia?
Am I underweight?
Clue: If you answered no
to each question, you are a suitable candidate for the diet technique. If you said yes
to any or all of them, it is definitely not the time for you to start this program.
Following are additional indications that intermittent fasting is not ideal for you.
Type 1 diabetics: Your blood sugar naturally drops when you fast. If you are on insulin-lowering drugs, you will need to consult your physician before you begin the fasting process. It is possible for you to lower the dosage during your dieting.
Thyroid and adrenal issues: Proceed with caution because individuals with either of these problems have issues dealing with stress. Fasting has been perceived as exacerbating this pre-existing condition.
Children: Until a child reaches his/her 18th birthday, fasting is not advisable. Children are still growing and require more nutrients daily.
When Women Should Avoid Intermittent Fasting
As a woman, you have additional stress factors, including times when the special fasting techniques are not a good fit for you. Here are a few:
When you’re nursing
When you’re pregnant
When you’re under chronic stress
When you have difficulty sleeping or have sleep disorders
When you have had a previous food disorder such as anorexia or bulimia
Fasting and Your Hormones
Put simply, your body experiences insatiable hunger if you start undereating. The female body would react as if it were protecting a potential
fetus—even if you aren’t pregnant. Many women ignore the hunger cues
and binge later. However, the vicious cycle of undereating can halt ovulation and send your hormones out of
