HEADACHES, LOW ENERGY, SLEEPLESSNESS, WHY IS FASTING SO HARD?
I hear from lots of people struggling with fasting. I literally get dozens of emails a day.
Most folks aren’t asking about hunger. People expect to be hungry. What they don’t expect are sleep problems, low energy, muscle cramps, and headaches. Stuff that can really tank your quality of life.

SLEEP ISSUES
Sleep issues are a big one, insomnia in particular. Nobody wants to toss and turn at 3 AM, heart racing, hunger gnawing at the stomach. There are few worse things. -
LOW-ENERGY WORKOUTS
Fasted workouts are another common complaint. People cramp up, or don’t have much energy in the gym during their fasts. These symptoms can make exercise a slog. -
HEADACHES
Then there are the headaches. Persistent, nagging headaches that won’t go away. Even when you drink more water.
IS IT ALL WORTH IT?
You want the benefits of fasting. You want to look, feel, and perform better—maybe even stimulate longevity mechanisms like autophagy. But are the symptoms worth it?
Probably not. Even if you power through, it won’t be sustainable. The whole point is to improve your health. You can only deal with insomnia and a throbbing head for so long.
That’s why it’s crucial to support your fast properly. It can mean the difference between feeling like a champ and feeling like garbage.
