Does anyone else get pissed as fuck when you fast ? If yes how do you manage it ?
I get extremely irritated and angry during fasts! I think it’s a natural response though.
Think about it, stress hormones rise during fasting. Cortisol shoots up and adrenaline as well. Our body wants us to go out and hunt some animals for survival. This biological response, made sense back in the day. Without it, we probably wouldn’t have survived. If you didn’t find food in primal times or your tribe was being attacked by another tribe, you needed that rage. But in our modern world, it doesn’t help us anymore.
So during fasting time I always try to tell the people around me to not take me too seriously. I tell them in advance that I’m not really myself. It’s like the dude on the snickers advert. You’re not you when you’re hungry. And if I really feel the anger cooking up inside of me, I leave the room to cool off. It’s not worth it to start a fight because it’s most likely only caused by the fact that you’re hangry. Good luck
