Should Women Fast? | Mark's Daily Apple "(...) As it stands right now, I’d be inclined to agree that pre-menopausal (and perhaps peri-menopausal) women are more likely to have poor – or at least different – experiences with intermittent fasting, at least as a weight loss tool.That said, it appears to be a potentially gender-neutral therapeutic tool for chemotherapy,cancer, and age-related neurodegeneration patients. (...) I’d also say that daily fasts, a la 16/8 or even 14/10, run the risk of becoming chronic stressors and should be approached with caution by women. Same goes for ultra-long fasts, like a 36 (or even 24) hour marathon. Most of all, though, I’d simply suggest that women interested in fasting be cautious, be self-aware, and only do so if it comes naturally. It shouldn’t be a struggle (for anyone, really). It shouldn’t stop your cycle or make it harder for you to get pregnant. It should improve your life, not make it worse. If you find that fasting has those negative effects, stop doing it. It should happen WHEN (When Hunger Ensues Naturally), if it happens at all. (...)"

Han her diskuterer temaet om kjønnforskjeller når det kommer til respons på fastin: No One's Power but Our Own: Paleo Sexist Woes, and an Invitation to Rise Up and Roar | Free The Animal "Enter the MDA preface. Fasting is enormously popular in the paleosphere today. But it is a stressor, through and through. Couple our vigorous pursuit of optimality with ignorance of sex-specificity, and we land in a heaping pile of female health threats. As my analysis of fasting points to, and as study after study after study on calorie restriction indicates, men can undergo metabolic stressors relatively painlessly, and in fact usually emerge in good health and fitness. Women, on the other hand, do not. The female body is designed first and foremost to guard its fertility, and for that reason the body strongly resists and is hurt by metabolic stress. In many cases, both anecdotally and in the literature, women on restrictive diets—whether fasts or calorie-restricted diets, fat-restricted or carbohydrate-restricted diets, typically healthy diets by paleo standards—or unhealthy diets experience hindered mental health, energy, sleep quality, insulin and leptin signalling, thyroid activity, and HPA axis function. Moreover, because the body is detecting metabolic stress and wants to defend itself, restricted women sometimes actually gain weight. I have met, in fact, several women who undertake one to three day fasts and gain a couple of pounds. The dubious nature of these restrictive diets relative to women's health includes the effects of excessive exercise, particularly over-done HIIT. This isn't to say that women shouldn't reduce calories from time to time, or certainly that they shouldn't engage in HIIT. We should. But female bodies cannot—straight up, they cannot—handle these stressors as well as men do. And even when they do experience benefits—which is often! especially for obese women—it is a sure bet that it occurs by a physiological mechanism unique to a man. In all metabolic influences—in energy intake, expenditure, type of energy utilized, amount of body fat on the person—women require more and different safeguarding than men in order to maintain optimal health. This is the truth of science and of evolution."

Så godt å høre! Jeg bruker p-piller selv, så vet jo egentlig ikke hvordan periodisk faste eventuelt har påvirket min "normale" menstruasjon. Men høres ut som jeg ikke trenger bekymre meg

Takk for innspill folkens:) FuliginEst: Interessant.. Fikk du mensen tilbake når du sluttet med 24-timers fastene? Spiser du etter PF idag?

Ja men han sa ikke noe om hvordan det påvirket fruktbarheten deres? Og Kristine Weber har ikke barn såvidt jeg vet ? Er nysgjerrig om negative effekter kan komme uavhengig av kaloriinntak, alts å hvis man ikke reduserer kaloriinntaket men spiser etter kaloribehov, men med periodisk faste. Håper ikke det.. og jeg fungerer selv kjempebra på PF.Men har ikke akkurat provd bli gravid heller..

Leste denne : http://www.paleoforwomen.com/shattering-the-myth-of-fasting-for-women-a-review-of-female-specific-responses-to-fasting-in-the-literature/ Han skriver om negative effekter av kalorirestriksjon og periodisk faste for kvinner, som ikke oppleves for menn. "Many women find that with intermittent fasting comes sleeplessness, anxiety, and irregular periods, among a myriad of other symptoms hormone dysregulations. " "It is well-known in both the research and the nutritional communities that caloric restriction is horrible for female reproductive health. This is not news. But what of fasting regimes? Should women go long periods without eating, even if maintaining normal caloric input?" Beware, studiene han refererer til er hovedsakelig med rotter og mus.. Noen som har noen tanker om dette? Personlige erfaringer angående reproduktivitet?

Ingen altså? come oooooon

Noen andre enn meg som skal ta PT-utdanningen på AFPT i Stavanger høsten 2012?
