Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lotties" data-source="post: 2195197" data-attributes="member: 517727">I find again as Ian said just for me, if I eat too many carbs even if only from green veg (~40-50g at a meal instead of 20g) I get hungry quicker.Staying very fat adapted allows me to have long periods where I don't feel the urge to eat even if I may think I'm hungry. I still have bag of Xmas sweets sitting visible in from of my monitor at work unopened. It's been 4 weeks now. I fasted 4 days last week and am 1 day into a 3 day fast now. It's hard-core January <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />I don't recommend fasting more than 16:8 until you're fat adapted; that's just starving yourself. YMMV.My BG after 12hrs of not eating @10am was 6.5 (NHS lab) in October. Now it varies between 5.2 on a really good morning and always under 6.5 even by 0.1 or 0.2.EDIT Btw, I only fasted once last year in Sept for 4 days but did 20g low carb OMAD for most of the rest of the time except Xmas and a couple of celebration meals.</blockquote>
