Hunger is a weird thing in how it affects different people. I've done the "master cleanse" without really being bothered, while my significant other can barely last half a day without needing something to eat. Being as how she's one of the toughest (and fit) people I know, it can't be chalked up to willpower.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoMy condition significantly interferes with the way my body metabolizes dietary fats. This causes most people with it to be deficient in all fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and to typically have far too little body fat. Ironically, although I have shrunk as my edema has improved, I probably have more subcutaneous fat, making it possible to go into ketogenesis. I probably had no (or too little) fat reserves to draw upon previously, making fasting particularly hard on me.
- tarsinge 6y agoIt's also very variable on the individual level and you have to know your body. For example if I eat even a little in the morning it's impossible for me to fast and I'll be hungry mad by midday. But if I only drink coffee and have a lot of work to do the day can pass smoothly without feeling hungry. Also dependent on the type of food for me, food dense in proteins and fats can feed me for the day, while with carbs I'll be hungry a few hours after.
