I'm alternate day fasting. Ask me anything

[wazu]

Are the fasting days hellish or no? Do you just eat whatever the hell you want on the non-fasting days or is there some form of discipline there?

Once you get past the initial hunger pain it goes away. Went to bed a little hungry last night but today I had two cups of coffee black and I'm not even hungry. May wait until this afternoon to even eat. Just got back from a 5 mile walk and energy level is great.

As far as food I only eat "Whole foods" nothing processed , out of a can , bag or box for the most part.

I do 24 hour fasts.

There is a hormone that gets released right around the time you usually eat and it makes you feel hungry (sometimes starving) but it eventually goes away after you don't eat and you feel totally fine.

Some people have to be careful with blood sugar drops and feeling lightheaded, though. For whatever reason, I have not had those issues so far.
