These 6 People Shouldn’t Try Intermittent Fasting

Your job involves focusing and concentration

Your body uses food to create energy and you need it to focus. So, if your job involves intense concentration, you shouldn’t try intermittent fasting. Nevertheless, it’s quite difficult to pay attention to your tasks when you are hungry. 

Some studies have shown that people who try intermittent fasting are more likely to experience fatigue, reduced concentration, poor sleep and anxiety, so, it can affect your productivity when it comes to completing your tasks. 

 

You suffer from diabetes

As you probably know, people who suffer from diabetes should follow a certain diet and take medication because their body can’t produce insulin (a hormone responsible for carrying the sugar to various cells in the body), so they have to keep their blood sugar levels under control.

In this case, intermittent fasting is a bad idea, as this weight loss method can cause hypoglycemia, especially if combined with medication. Diabetics should maintain their blood sugar levels under control if they want to live longer and avoid complications.
