Can You Eat Rice While Intermittent Fasting?
Sometimes intermittent fasting can get confusing even though its a very simple and straight-forward concept. As an exercise scientist, experienced healthcare worker, and long-time intermittent faster, I recommend drinking water, sparkling water, straight black coffee (no cream and no sugar), and herbal tea (no sugar). That’s it. No food. So, yes, that also means no rice. Keep it simple and don’t think too hard about all of this.
However, rice is a very healthy food source during your eating phase. Just make sure you’re not binge eating during your eating phase and ruining all of that fasting in which you put effort. Also, remember to stay hydrated while you fast! See my article titled WATER!!!…And Other Helpful Advice For Intermittent Fasters.
A few benefits that you can gain from intermittent fasting includes:
- Burn fat
- Mental clarity
- Lower blood pressure
- Lower blood sugar
