I recently started intermittent fasting a few days ago but during the fasting portion, I get really hungry and have heartburns. I’m thinking this is normal since it’s a new regime for me and I just need to adapt. But it makes it very difficult to exercise during the fasting portion. Should I just exercise during the eating window or do I adapt eventually? Sorry if this has been asked many times already.
For hunger make sure you are getting enough protein. A shake or bar is a great last food during your eating frame. Protein digests more slowly and keeps you fuller longer. I’d also look into fiber supplements. Arbonne actually has a very good fiber supplement. Add it in with a protein shake and you should be good to go. And for those that struggle with protein shakes, try it with coconut water!
