Frequently Asked Questions

Does intermittent fasting slow metabolism?
Short-term fasting (16-24 hours) does not slow metabolism. Studies show metabolic rate may actually increase slightly during fasts under 48 hours due to norepinephrine release. Prolonged calorie restriction (weeks/months at very low calories) is what causes metabolic adaptation.
Can I exercise while fasting?
Yes, but adjust intensity. Light to moderate exercise (walking, Zone 2 cardio) is fine fasted. For intense weightlifting or HIIT, most people perform better in their eating window. If you train fasted, prioritize protein in your first meal after.
