GIRL, ARE YOU FASTING? ⬇️⬇️ Firstly, if you’re fasting to control calories and it works for you - that’s cool, but let’s just call it ‘skipping a meal’. Let’s also look at what’s going on under the hood whilst you’re out there smashing your long ☕️ black: CORTISOL IS BLUNTED WHEN WE EAT. Don’t eat? Cortisol ⬆️ Know what else effects cortisol? Your age and sex. The older you are = the more sensitive you are to cortisol’s detrimental effects. Female? Jackpot. You’re also more sensitive. 30+ year old women who are skulling a coffee in favour of food, when cortisol is naturally rising in the AM?! = Shitstorm 🌪️⚡️🫠 BONUS points if you’re adding a workout and raising cortisol and adrenalin even more. 🔥🔥🔥 I see it all the time - clients let themselves get super hungry, then tend to go for the carbs and sweets because those will raise their blood sugar for the energy they need. Their cortisol is all over the place. TRY THIS INSTEAD: start your day with a high protein, SAVOURY breakfast to keep hormones and blood sugar balanced. You’ll notice a difference that same day.
