Like 10+ hours since your last meal. I enjoy feeling lightweight and pure with an empty stomach. I do very much look forward to eating again but there’s a different kind of high you feel while in a fasted state.
Yes. I had no idea it could feel this good. The longer I’ve done IF the more I recognize and enjoy the fasting feeling. It encourages me to keep going on this lifestyle. I started only because I needed to improve my a1c numbers. The weight loss has just been the bonus, and continues to be.
It’s nice to feel the mental clarity. I also enjoy eating more after my fasting window- food tastes better.
That said, I do sometimes miss the act of eating more frequently . I’ve done a lot of emotional eating in my life and I don’t have that option anymore, so that “comfort” is gone.
