If you have been doing intermittent fasting for awhile and are still not seeing results, it may be because of what I call the “fasting hangover.” The fasted state is a stressful metabolic environment for the body. When we don't eat, our blood sugar drops, our cortisol levels rise, and we produce more ghrelin (the hunger hormone). We also produce less glucagon which is responsible for keeping us in fat-burning mode.
