In this episode I’m discussing 5 Common Mistakes made with women with PCOS attempting intermittent fasting the wrong way, and how to avoid those mistakes for best results.

Who is this not for?
Before we dive in, it’s important to note who intermittent fasting is not for. It is not for those that have any form of eating disorders, women trying to conceive, who are already pregnant, or anyone with a history of hypoglycemia, or other health conditions where blood sugar levels could be dipping very low.

The last time I spoke about Intermittent Fasting was in Episode 13 where I covered what it is, the benefits, how to get started and implement and who it is for.
What type of fasting are you talking about?
The type of intermittent fasting that I’m speaking of is time-restricted eating which is done by limiting the window of eating during the day. During that time you are eating a good healthy amount of food, and intaking a good amount of calories, and having a healthy balanced nutritious meal plan.
What about other fasting methods?
I’m also covering why you shouldn’t participate in any extreme fasting methods. I’ll go into what negative side effects extreme fasting methods can have on your body.
