For posters who do time restricted eating, how do you deal with the panicked/dizzy feeling you often get when not eating for long periods. Does that eventually go away with IF, or do you just get used to it?
That's from low blood pressure and/or electrolyte imbalance. So drink more fluid supplemented with electrolytes. You can also take a spoonful of a pure fat like coconut oil or ghee in the morning or in between a meal to help with any hunger pain.
You don't faint from low blood sugar, you faint from low blood pressure. If you were losing consciousness from low blood sugar you're gong to start convulsing and having seizures, afaik.
In normal homeostasis, insulin lowers blood sugar as needed and glucagon raises it. There is always a balance being made between the two I believe.
