When I go too long without eating, I feel fatigued and my respirations are increased. I also get a slight pressure headache. I don’t do long fasts. Usually 16-18 hours but because I feel like this, it doesn’t feel healthy. I also don’t think I readily burn fat. Very low carbs end up making me feel like total garbage. I’ve tried. I know I am getting enough calories low carb but I absolutely feel sluggish, hungry, depressed. I’m also menopausal if that matters. Advice?
Slight headaches and feeling like garbage or sluggish sounds like electrolyte issues, have you worked on that?
I happen to have a watch that tracks respirations (how accurately, idk, but probably is okay). looking back, there isn’t any discernable pattern for me that suggests higher respirations while fasting.
