[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 897997, member: 41816"] The hunger thing is my biggest issue with fasting. It isnt really about whether i can endure the discomfort - of course i can - for a while. But historically, every attempt i have made to use hunger as a diet-tool (in 30+ years of dieting) has ended with disaster, and falling into a feeding frenzy. I've experienced every stage - the buoyant fasting high, the slight spaciness, the fervent enthusiasm, the sense of revulsion at the sight of an egg yoke... But months or days later, my appetite ALWAYS slips out of control, with a vengeance. Rebound. End up bigger than the start. So i have eventually learned that slower, gentler, and sustainably is the only thing that my body actually responds to in a positive way (unfortunately, this revelation was AFTER i had messed up my metabolism and switched on my thrifty gene) So I'm still checking out whether intermittent fasting works for my current body. I have a theory, you see, that all those years that i 'skipped breakfast and feel fine' are what trained my body to create a silly-high dawn phenomenon. [/QUOTE]
