<aside> <img src="/icons/light-bulb_blue.svg" alt="/icons/light-bulb_blue.svg" width="40px" /> I advise consulting your doctor before making any major dietary changes, like intermittent fasting.

There are particular cases where this is most advisable, as listed below.

Note, this list is not conclusive nor definitive.

I also advise taking your own precautionary measures and doing your own further research before any kind of fasting, especially if taking any kind of medication or if you have any kind of health condition.

I would not recommend practicing intermittent fasting if:

• You are pregnant
• You are breastfeeding
• You have a health condition or you’re taking medication that fasting may adversely effect
• You are elderly, without consulting a medical professional
• You have a history of disorderly eating or you feel like it increases or promotes unhealthy eating habits
• You are underweight or have high caloric needs
• You are under the age of 18, as you’re still developing and have much greater growth demands
• It just doesn’t work for you </aside>
