Hey all…
So… i’m 3 weeks into Keto and loving it. What i love more than Keto is fasting. I love the two together. Though i am only 3 weeks in, i can fadt for hours without ever getting hungry anymore. I naturally seem to have fallen into a 20:4 fast and today became a 22:2 fast. So here is my question
-
Most fast days in which im doing 20:4 or 22:2 , when i eat my first break-fast, i dont feel hungry. My appetite has taken a dive. So i do not get my macro amounts for the Day. Is this okay right now? For reference i have 80lbs to lose, so should i worry about lack of calories if i can fast easily? What would be the scientific reason why appetite would be diminished right after a fast?

When i did fasting last year… every time i broke my 20 hour fast, i had to zoom to the bathroom 20 minutes later…it felt like in and out. So this tiem i have been breaking my fast with either a keto sandwich made wirh psyllium husk or high fibre mini muffin made with psyllium husk. Good news!! I dont have the bathroom problem BUT…i get very bloated when i eat an actual meal an hour later and gassy and full. Is there a reason for this? How can i combat that issue? Cause i love fasting and want to do it daily but i dont like how i feel after ive eaten.
Is 20:4 or 22:2 okay to use daily. I know Dr. Fung says Omad can stall but will i stall if i have fat to lose and im eating not just one meal but seversl small ones post fast? I do try and switch my fadting routine around to incorporate some 16:8 as well
