Fasting does no harm.....

We've talked a fair bit on this blog about intermittent fasting / IF - there are lots of styles from Fast 5 to Eat Stop Eat.

Anyway, this study - Effect of fasting on young adults who have symptoms of hypoglycemia in the absence of frequent meals - indicates that while fasting might makes people feel irritable - this is generally subjective not a physical event.....Interesting - some of these feelings may be in the mind......



Conclusions: Adults, despite subjective signs of hypoglycemia, can fast without any metabolic or endocrine derangement.
