| | Water Fasting

Ravenously hungry the week before my menstrual period.

Anyone else? I find fasting almost impossible during this time.

Answer

Same here. During ovulation and the week before my period. Once my period starts, I’m fine to fast again. I’ve settled for letting my body dictate the pace during those weeks. Otherwise I get hangry. Surprisingly I’ve been able to lose weight and maintain doing just that. The fluctuations on the scale are also scary but I’ve learned to embrace them.
