I was worried about this too, but I’ve been alternate day fasting ADF (eat dinner at the normal time, go to bed and don’t eat the entire day, eat normally the following day) for two weeks now (and down nearly 6 lbs so far to 215lbs), and it hasn’t actually been a problem. I get a bit hungry by the end of the day, and sometimes I’ll have a protein shake to tide me over.
But mostly I’m just looking forward to my meals the next day. And by the next morning I’ve started to become indifferent to food. I’ll have breakfast, but I don’t feel deprived, food seeking or anything.
Also studies on ADF actually allow participants to eat 25% of their daily calories (or up to 500 Cal) and still be on diet. I’ve taken advantage of this once and had a single McD cheeseburger for dinner. So it was nice having the option as backup if I got really hungry.
