It’s so easy for me to fast 20:4 all the way up to the week of my period, then it gets a little difficult to stick to the schedule. Just wondering if any other woman noticed this aswell.
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).
