I (31f, 5ft 1, 175lbs) started IF last month after life insurance quote was higher due to ‘build’. Lost 8lb so far!
I started OMAD but after listening to the fasting method podcasts, realised I would be better with alternate day fasting.
I’ve just finished a 41 hour fast (I can’t believe it!) and after eating I…err…farted a little too enthusiastically. Have now had to rush to change my entire lower half clothing. I eat a lot of veg so don’t think fibre is the issue. Is this is a common experience and does it go away with time? Obviously not the best to deal with if in public (I was at home luckily) and worried about replacing one reason to be self conscious with another!
I find things that cause gas are 100000000x worse if I break a fast with them. I usually break with home made miso soup with soft tofu and some kind of fermented veg, usually kimchi for no reason other than I always have that in my fridge.
