Read More »As previously stated, any amount of calories will, technically, break your fast. Even foods with extremely low calories, like celery, still contain fiber and other nutrients that could potentially trigger your body’s digestive process. It’s also possible that the effect of chewing may get your digestive system working, which will actually make you feel hungrier. Therefore, it is not generally recommended to eat during the fasting window. However, everyone is different, and you should always find what works and feels best for you. What’s key to any weight loss plan—and essential to learning how to curb hunger during intermittent fasting—is consistency. If a small boost helps you see your fasting window through to the finish, and to start fasting again when scheduled, then go for it! And, as always, if you’re feeling faint or ill, you should listen to your body and eat or drink when needed. Plus, even if your body is no longer in fasting mode, you can still benefit from some of its processes; fat-burning ketosis, for example, still occurs after feeding, so long as you remain under 50 grams of carbs per day. Keeping your blood sugar levels stable is also possible after fasting; just stick with low carb foods to avoid spiking your blood sugar, and keep your body in fat-burning mode. Ultimately, what’s important about intermittent fasting is finding the right tools that help you stick to your routine, rather than preserving the technicality of the fast. 1 Before starting IF, consult with your doctor or healthcare provider for guidance on whether IF is right for you.
