Answer

A lot of it is mental. You just have to push through it.

I usually have water or hot tea. And keeping busy is important. If you can change your tasks, that can also get your mind off of food.

If you can take a walk during that time, or do something kind of active, that can help.

Answer

The uncomfortable truth is that it’s going to take a while to get used to any fasting schedule. How long have you been doing 18/6? Drink plenty of water and keep yourself busy to distract from the hunger! Over time, it should get easier.

Answer

Dehydration can present like hunger. Drink lots of water.

I think with a high protein diet and IF you need much more salt than just IF alone.

If you need more salt, you can add a dash of salt to your water.

Answer

Fasting is good with trying to overcome your attachment to food, a lot of the time when you’re hungry you’re most likely in need of hydration, especially if you’re eating high fat there’s no way your body needs to eat within 3 hours of fasting. Try drinking plenty more water, and also carbonated calorie free beverages help with appetite suppression
