Dr. Berg talks about if intermittent fasting damages your adrenals. When you go from one meal to the next, if you have hypoglycemia (low blood sugars). When you're body has low blood sugar, your adrenals, and liver counter this effect and raise the glucose back up to a normal level. If your adrenals are weak, then the sugars drop too low and you can experience the effects of low blood sugars.

However, if your adrenals are strong, then you won't have low blood sugars usually when you do intermittent fasting. IF is not damaging to your adrenals, it just makes it hard to do intermittent fasting in the presence of weak adrenals in which case you need to do it more gradually, adding more fat, B vitamins, and potassium.
