Pros of Period on IF
Cons
I know I shouldn’t be upset by this one week …. But can we all agree that hormones are absolute gobshites.
I guess I just want some solidarity/reassurance.
I agree! One week away from my monthly cycle and my jeans are definitely tighter this week. I broke my fast yesterday to eat again and shifted my window. I still have 2 hrs to finish up my 16 hr fasting window and it’s past lunch time. My stomach’s growling. I am so hungry! I ll probably break my fast with a high carb meal!
My hunger and cravings are more so during the PMS stage of the cycle but during my period it’s sooo hard not to just be like “screw it, I feel like crap” - try to stay strong. It’s wild being a woman and feeling so different throughout our cycles. I just find trying to keep things consistent as possible and then tweaking slightly during my pms and period part of my cycle. I usually extend my window a bit during PMS.
