Been doing IF for three years, lost a bit, still got a while to go. I do 22:2, and skip Tuesdays and Fridays, but today I couldn’t do it, failed terribly, ate two sausages, pork steak, ramen, charcuterie board and a cherry yogurt ,- feel terrible but full .. hopefully I get it back tomorrow
Reminder that you’re human and the body is primed to choose survival. In the face of famine (fasting in this case), it’s going to feast. Not saying fasting isn’t safe or good, I do it myself and it’s a successful strategy for weight loss and improving insulin sensitivity. But we are overriding our primal nature to do it and if you slip up, maybe cut yourself some slack. There’s no need for guilt or shame.
