MoreHello and welcome to my support group for Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle. Everyone is welcome here and encouraged to share info on IF as well as other types of fasts, including EF, ADF etc. the only exception is dry fasting info, (no food or liquids) which is NOT to be promoted here. I am a Plexus Supplement user and ambassador but will NOT be promoting those outside of general info for those who are using them with IF. Plexus is food, and therefore needs to be considered when doing clean IF. If you are using other supplementation, and need to question or want to share info on how to integrate those with your fasting plan, that is fine. No promos or selling of any supplements will be allowed here but you are certainly free to connect separately from this group of you have any questions. The main focus of this group is to have a support system for all of us choosing IF or other similar plans as a lifestyle! Welcome to our group!

FAQ:
1. Can I do a different fasting regiment: You can. Some people do five days traditional eating and then do a 500 calorie a day for two days ... others do �alternate day fasting.� These haven�t seemed as doable with my personal lifestyle, therefore I don�t have personal experience or wisdom there. But LOTS of info available elsewhere! For the purposes of this group we�re encouraging a 8/6/4 hour window depending on your personal health/health goals etc. But there are lots of other styles you can research and experiment with.
2. What Plexus products can I take while fasting: During my fasting window I typically take Vitalbiome, BioCleanse, MegaX, ProBio5, XFactor Plus and VitalBiome. I wait until my FEASTING window has opened to take LEAN, Active, Slim and Collagen.
3. What feasting window do you recommend? I think gradually getting to the 6 hour mark is perfect. I would start the first week with an 8 hour window. If you start to plateau decrease your feasting window
4. What if I get shaky/have low blood sugar? This is a common complaint/concern. The more insulin resistant you are, the more this will affect you. But, GOOD NEWs, over time as you work into this your body will become more �fat adapted� and you will be good to go! Drink lots of water, take a little himalyan sea salt if you get a headache. Also make sure you�re adding GOOD fats to your meals when you�re eating. I try to close my window with fats each day.
5. What about working out? Once your body becomes fat adapted, you�ll probably prefer working out fasted over fed! BUT, while adjusting, I personally recommend sticking to fasted cardio and not weight lifting. Just listen to your body!
