Hello! I’m currently trying to start with ADF (alternative day fasting) but since I’m unemployed and home most of the time. It’s hard to not eat when I’m bored. I always break my fast during the evening bcs I can’t keep up with how bored I am.
Do anyone have tips and tricks to fast while extremely bored? I need help
I’m in a similar situation. I usually go to bed early when it gets to be too much at night. Drinking water sometimes helps with the hunger. Otherwise, I try to find something to do to take my mind off of it. Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of audiobooks/podcasts and playing video games.
Distract yourself, exercise, play games, read, watch a movie… Depending on the type of fast you are doing, if you can drink tea/coffee, do that… If you can only drink water, drink hot water as if you are drinking a cup of tea/coffee
Tell yourself you won’t eat no matter what. If your hungry do some light cardio, stretches, take electrolytes or a vitamin. How determined are you? Keep in mind I have given up tons of times, pushed back start dates, made tons of excuses. Gained back all the weight i lost from fasting, missed goals (Damn I can go on). But I’m sick of it, this is what I want, and I’m doing it.
