Histamine intolerance and intermittent fasting

Hands up who missed breakfast today?⁣ 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

With intermittent fasting, you squeeze your meals into a certain amount of time (a feeding window). ⏰

This might be 8, 10, or 12 hours depending on how adventurous you want to be. I tend to hit 7/8 most days. The rest of the time, you’ll simply consume water (and perhaps black coffee).⁣

This is one of my favourite hacks for histamine intolerance, although at first sight it may not seem directly related. (Obviously always check with your Doc before starting any new diet)⁣ 👌

When you fast for 16/17 hours, your body can start to go into a mild ketogenic state. Realistically, for me it just means missing breakfast. I feel better and have loads more energy too.⁣ ⚡

Remember, I’m not using intermittent fasting for weight loss purposes. I am using it to boost your health and immunity, and to help with histamine levels. ⁣
