Whenever I try something like this, my work productivity absolutely plummets. I am unable to focus during the day. How do people keep their mental energy up while fasting or when in fasted state?
- noelwelsh 8y agoI do IT on an ad-hoc basis. 16 hour fasts maybe 5 days per week. After a short period of adaptation I've found I'm just not bothered by hunger any more, up until the time I usually eat (11am-ish). It seems that my body has learned when it can expect to eat and hunger doesn't become an issue until around the time. So, to answer your question, perhaps you need to try for a few weeks, if you haven't do so already.
- JoshMnem 8y agoWhen doing 3-5 day water fasts, I don't do much work from the 2nd day. If you're doing the 12-16 hour kind of fast, then stopping food intake at around 4 pm doesn't affect the work day. I get tired when doing alternate day fasting (alternating the on-off switch at around 4 pm), but can still work.
