Hungry or not?

I started doing some fasting again, as I’ve gained 3 kilograms since the extended restrictions and home office took place.

I knew the 16:8 version would work great, but I thought I will try out 5:2. This means basically out of seven days the week has, I am eating normally on 5 and eat nothing at all on two.

So, today is the first “no eating day” and my mind is playing tricks on me. It did the same when I did a full Ketosis diet the year before last year.

What does it do? Well, it wants me to eat something. Normally by the time of 11:30 or 12 o’clock I had lunch. Since 10 o’clock my brain is telling me that I need to eat something. The thing is, I am not even hungry.

But because normally I would have eaten something by now, it thinks I need something, even though I don’t. It’s like you’re an alcoholic but addicted to food.

Eating every day is just a habit like any other and as we all know here on this platform, habits aren’t easily made and aren’t easily broken, especially if they are bad once.

I know the urge to eat will fade till I am going to sleep this night, but still, it’s bothering me and I want it to stop. :)
