There are a few typical mistakes in interval fasting that you should avoid:You set your goals too high:In order not to fail to get used to them, you should not completely change your diet from one day to the next. This overtaxes the body. Instead, slowly increase your weight, for example, start with a fasting interval of 12 hours and extend the fasting phase according to your personal well-being.The interval does not suit your lifestyle:Think carefully about which variant of intermittent fasting you choose. If you don't like breakfast anyway, the 16/8 method is suitable for you. For those who are awake for a long time and do not want to give up their midnight snack, this method is then less suitable. The 5/2 or the 10/2 method, where you do without food for whole days, is not suitable for everyone. For example, if you have a lot of stress at work, you might need regular meals to have enough energy.You eat too much or too little:You should also pay attention to the energy balance during intermittent fasting and neither eat too much - then you gain weight - nor too little. If you eat too little, your metabolism slows down and muscle mass is lost, which you need to lose weight. The more muscles, the higher the calorie consumption.You choose unhealthy fast food:Even though it is often said that you can eat what you want during intermittent fasting, this should not mean that you only eat fast food, sweets and high-calorie foods. Snacks and minor sins you may of course indulge in from time to time, but this should not become a habit. Losing weight with intermittent fasting only works with a healthy, balanced diet.You drink too little:As with all other methods of weight loss, the same applies to intermittent fasting: drink, drink, drink. The DGE recommends two to three liters of water per day.
