Hey guys! I’m pretty new to this whole fasting thing so I don’t have a lot of experience. I started doing 16:8 about 2 weeks ago, haven’t had any problems with feeling hungry or weak or anything so I stuck with this time frame. But three days ago I started getting bad heartburns in the night. I fast from 8pm to 12am. Any tips on how to handle or prevent this? Thank you!
I have this issue and what works for me is a different window. I do 18:6 and stop eating at either 6 or 7 until 12 or 1. What helps though is not eating so late at night.
I cut down on coffee and do not drink it while fasting. I only drink chamomile or mint tea from 6pm until sleeping. I continue to only drink tea in the morning and I have one coffee during my eating window.
Not sure which of these activities has helped me but I used to suffer from heartburn, acid reflux and gastritis especially when fasting.
