An interesting reflection on fasting while trying to work. Curiously, I have had the opposite experience of working while fasting, though it may be very different to fast for one day at a time. Still, I fast between dinner on Sunday and dinner on Monday, which usually amounts to about a 18-19 hour fast. I allow myself all the water I want a a few cups of coffee in the morning. I'm motivated by a hypothesis of mine that biologically our bodies have spent the last 100,000 not consuming regular high quality, high-calorie meals every day. I am a distance runner, and I've been experimenting with my diet for some time now to see what works best now. My subjective experience so far has been fantastic. I generally feel mentally sharper, and my fast-day runs are usually more focused and satisfying than on days when I eat.
