7 things that happened to me when I tried intermittent fasting

Let me tell you the 7 things that happened to me when I tried intermittent fasting:
1. Coffee consumption increased: I typically drink coffee on a daily basis but while intermittent fasting, I needed more coffee to sustain my energy (30% more).
2. Hunger pangs: I experienced numerous hunger pangs throughout the day. To combat my hunger, I added MCT in my coffee. This was a temporary fix.
3. Increased mental alertness: Since I was fasting, I experienced an increase in mental alertness; however, I was also quite irritable.
4. Food consumption decreased by 25%: Given that I couldn't eat until 12pm, I consumed less food.
5. Decreased mental & physical energy: When I was allowed to eat during the 8 hours, I experienced an energy crash right after I ate.
6. Immense thirst: While fasting, I experienced increased thirst so I drank more water (regular and mineral water).
7. Increased weight: My weight increased during the 14 days of intermittent fasting and increased even more when I went back to my normal way of eating (several clean meals per day).
Common intermittent fasting mistakes people make:
*When fasting, most people jump right into it without planning their meals or adjusting their schedules. Starting a fast at random might not yield the results desired.
*Expecting the scale to dive within a few days is an unrealistic expectation. Individuals should be mindful that intermittent fasting is not a diet but instead a way of eating.
*Women need to proceed with caution if they are pregnant or breastfeeding.
