Mine isn’t the week before my period but it is related. I’ll have about three days where I don’t care about eating at all, then three days where all I can think about is what/when I’ll eat next. I figure it balances it out in the long run.
Yes! This has been a new thing I have notice.
I first started fasting 2 years ago. I did it for for 8 months or so? Never experienced this. I had no problem fasting even the week before my period. Then I got pregnant, had a baby and fast forward to now. I recently just got back into IF. The last two months I have not been able to , but once I start my period I am fine.
Check out Cynthia Thurlow, she actually recommends women not fasting as much during that time( week before your period).
