How I feel mentally on fast days

Hi everyone

I've only been doing this way of eating since last week but am already 4lbs down so quite happy. I actually had a question about how you feel during fast days.

I actually prefer my fast days on the whole to my non fast days, at least until the last couple of hours before dinner when I do start to feel hungry. Otherwise I just feel generally happier, sharper and less 'foggy' on fast days!! Does anyone else have this?? It's almost like a weird kind of euphoria, my mood is so lifted!?!?

Many of us have found this in the beginning, Bec.

For my part, the euphoria was gradually replaced by a general feeling of well-being - all the time.

It's a great WOL, for sure! Smile

I love working on fast days : it makes me very "clear headed"

Yes everything is sharper. I answer questions quicker and out-wit people. Grin
I love fast days. I feel sluggish the day after though as I don't sleep well as I feel too wired.
