and your body is like um excuse me where's all my meals hey guys what's up
welcome back to my channel if you guys are new here welcome my name is Caitlyn
and in today's video we're gonna be talking about the negative side effects
of intermittent fasting yes there are some negative things that come with
intermittent fasting in last week's video we talked about the benefits of
intermittent fasting so if you guys have not already checked out that video I
will have it linked up here for you guys but before we get into the video I just
want to thank you guys for the thousand subscribers that we gained this week
that means so much to me I'm so grateful for each and every single one of you
guys I really mean that so if you guys are not already subscribed and you guys
would like to see more videos like this go ahead and hit that subscribe button
and with that being said let's get into the video alright you guys so one of the
first negative side effects that you're probably going to experience is you're
going to feel a lot hungrier especially in the beginning you're probably going
to be or irritable and you're going to feel hangry and you're just not going to
like it but this is just an adjustment period your body will get used to it
there's a two to four week period where your body adjusts to your new way of
eating so you just have to be patient in the meantime make sure that you're
eating enough nutrient-dense foods even if you're not ready to healthy foods at
least eat one nutrient-dense meal out of the day make sure that it's packed with
enough protein enough fiber enough fat enough nutrients to keep you full throughout
the day so you're not breaking your fast too early because I want this to work
for you guys just like it worked for me so make sure that you're getting enough
nutrient dense foods throughout the day because you're hangry and hungry period
will pass I promise give it two to four weeks another
negative side effect that you may experience is you're going to feel cold
but this is a good thing I mean it's not fun to be cold but being cold is a good
thing that means that intermittent fasting is working basically what's
happening is your blood flow is being increased your fat stores which helps to
move the fat to your muscle which then helps your muscles to burn the fat as
fuel which help you to lose weight so it's not necessarily a bad thing to be
pulled but it does suck to feel cold so make sure that you're bringing extra
jackets with you wherever you go and extra layers if you have to or if you're
at home you can always take a warm shower or warm bath or you can always
try sipping on some warm coffee or some warm tea to help you warm up but like I
said this will pass as well but if you're continuing to feel cold for a
very long time I would check with your doctor and get your iron levels checked
because low iron can make you feel cold as well another negative side effect of
intermittent fasting is having low energy your body is not used to having
such little amounts of meals throughout the day your body's used to
having five six seven meals a day and your body is like um excuse me where's
all my meals so your body's going crazy giving you low energy but this will
pass as well so don't worry about it but in the
meantime make sure that you're eating enough nutrient-dense foods and getting
what you need if you feel like you can't get enough nutrients throughout the day
try supplementing your nutrients for me what I like to do is I like to take
athletic greens these have 75 different vitamins in it so you can take
it in powder form like this or you can take a multivitamin with the supplements
that you need but make sure that you're getting enough nutrients so you're not
feeling like you have low energy and can't go throughout your day and lastly
another negative effect of intermittent fasting are headaches now there are a
whole bunch of different reasons why you can get headaches you can get headaches
from caffeine withdrawl low blood sugar and also dehydration so for caffeine
withdraw if you guys feel like you can't make it to your eating window and you
just go crazy without caffeine you could try drinking some unsweetened
green tea that has caffeine in it and that can hold you over until you can get
your coffee if you guys have headaches from low blood sugar like I said
throughout the whole video make sure that you're eating enough nutrient-dense
foods and if you're getting headaches from dehydration make sure that you're
drinking enough water with electrolytes or you could have pink Himalayan salt or
Celtic salt you can put that in your water and drink it if you don't want to
dump that and your water and drink that and have that nasty taste for a long
time you can just put some on your hand and lick that off or you can put some
underneath your tongue and drink that throughout the day
but you don't have to put it completely in your water and drink that you can
always just quickly lick it off and drink it I know it sounds really weird
but it gets the dawn faster and makes it easier so those are my tips for you guys
to help you guys throughout this negative part of intermittent fasting I
know you guys can do this I know you can push through this if you guys have any
