3 Simple Tips Women Should Know Before Fasting
Fasting: The Female Frontier
These days, navigating your nutrition plan can be a minefield. You are beset on all sides, it seems like every time you check the media (social or otherwise) every guru, celebrity and influencer is trying to sell you the latest fad or product. Recently, one of the hot topics is fasting, which has garnered attention for its potential health benefits.
However, women looking to start fasting should do a little research before jumping in.
Advice from the International Society of Sports Nutrition and other Nutrition bodies highlights that although there are advantages, you should also be aware of the potential pitfalls of fasting. The key here is to remember everyone will react differently, and it is important to be mindful when looking to give fasting a go.
Based on the above guidance, along with research into female nutrition and based on my personal experience of fasting —here are three simple tips for getting started.
Mindful Trial and Personalization:
Begin with a mindful trial. Experiment with short fasting periods, like intermittent fasting, to gauge how your body responds. Personalisation is key — as individual reactions to fasting can vary so its OK if it is not for you and just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Be aware of Hormonal Health:
Consider hormonal implications. Fasting can impact women's hormonal balance differently than men's, potentially affecting menstrual cycles or hormone levels. So, one size doesn't fit all; with this in mind, monitoring any changes is crucial especially if you have other hormonal challenges such as thyroid issues or menopause .
Prioritise Nutrient-Dense Feeding Windows:
During non-fasting periods, focus on protein rich nutrient-dense foods. Emphasise a variety of vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients to ensure nutritional needs are met, particularly if fasting intermittently and as I always say aim to prioritise protein.
When cautiously approached, fasting may offer benefits like improved insulin sensitivity and potential weight management through appetite hormones.
However, women must navigate this nutritional strategy with an acute awareness of the potential hormonal implications and individual responses. Mindful experimentation, hormone monitoring, and focusing on nutrient-dense feeding windows can aid in integrating fasting into a nutrition program, ensuring it complements, rather than disrupts, overall well-being.
At Livewright we tailor your programme specific to your goals and needs — including nutrition coaching.
