Numbness/Tingling Sensation

Medical Q&A [Moderated]

Good Afternoon BBMT,

What’s my body telling me when later in the day I get a numbness sensation in my body. I could even say its a small feeling of weakness. I’m a healthy weight, very active and currently running bridge 3.0. This feeling usually occurs late in the afternoon after I haven’t eaten all day. I always have a good breakfast early (6am) in the morning but occasionally tend to not eat again until 5 or 6 pm. No particular reason its just something I enjoy doing. I’m working to add LBM very slowly. I’m assuming that this is my body telling me to eat but is there something more specific that its telling me? Is it harming my progress or health? Again I don’t do this everyday but it is something that happens occasionally when I’m working.

Thank You!

Unfortunately I don’t know that I can give you concrete answers here.

If you only experience it on days when you go 12 hours without eating, try eating something in between. If it’s related to food intake, this doesn’t sound like anything that would be harmful to health, although fasting is generally not ideal for progress in training.
