They call it ‘hangry’. A lot of us who have used overeating as a tool to suppress anger and annoyance. It can distract you from who’s bugging you, put you in a ‘food haze’. Sometimes when you remove that way of coping, you allow yourself to feel your emotions more strongly- and that will include annoyance, etc.
The first thing that I think of is a lack of electrolytes in this situation. I find that getting enough electrolytes really helps me not to be short tempered or stressed out while fasting.
I will take a brisk walk to keep stress away. I think exercise is a great way to relive stress.
I also drink green tea and take other supplements to enhance my mood naturally.
Good luck and happy and safe fasting!
My first couple of months I had some pretty intense emotional swings, they have really balanced out and I’m not “mean” anymore. I would just make sure there are healthy fats being consumed as well. You never know the whole body is detoxing, the brain could as well. This is what I felt and noticed. I am so much more clear headed and grasp concepts much better. Best of luck though I know this transition can be rough!
