Daily 20 hour water (& salt) fasting reduced my desire to jump between tasks
You mean you only consumed water and salt for 20 hours of the day, or avoided these? Just trying to get clarity.
Also, did you find that type of carb food had much impact, or just overall amount?
- orangepurple 4y agoI only consume water, salt, and black coffee for 20 hours of the day. I found myself reaching for more sweets both natural and artificial when confronted with stressful or difficult tasks as a coping or escape mechanism. This was very distracting. It was the hardest of all to reduce the intake of artificial sweeteners. I used to compulsively chew gum. Gum with aspartame did help me lose 70 pounds when I first started fasting, but I have since sworn it off entirely, as I find the sweets cravings to be a source of distraction themselves. The cravings and irrational dreams of injecting sweets do end after a while. I was very addicted to sweets and was unable to feel full. I think nowadays this is called leptin resistance.
