INTERMITTENT FASTING - What to limit for Best Results

Intermittent fasting isn’t just about when you eat—it’s also about what you eat. Certain foods can blunt or even cancel out the benefits of fasting.

What to Limit

These choices can spike blood sugar, increase cravings, and slow progress:

• Ultra-processed foods

• Sugary snacks and desserts

• Refined carbohydrates (white bread, pastries)

• Liquid calories (sodas, sweetened drinks, juices)

• Alcohol (especially on an empty stomach)

A Common Mistake

❌ “I fasted all day, so I can eat anything.” Fasting followed by poor food choices is just delayed junk food. Intermittent fasting works best when paired with nutrient-dense, whole foods.
