Hangry without feeling hungry


(Mel ) #1

I’ve been trying to switch up my IF by skipping dinner instead of breakfast. It helped me get to my first 24 hour fast.
I’ve done this 3 or 4 times now. Tonight I stopped eating at noon. I never got hungry through the evening. But every time I skip dinner I get a very anxious and annoyed feeling. It reminds me of being hangry but my stomach isn’t hungry.
Hoping this passes as I get used to skipping dinner more often.

Are there any other patterns that you’ve noticed? I seem to experience something similar, but related to hormonal cycles…like gross impatience with myself and others :worried:

Magnesium
L-Theanine
Ashwagandha

Those help me chill out

Ashwagandha is a nightshade…unfortunately I react badly to all nightshades so that’s one I personally have to avoid, I understand it can help with pain for those that tolerate nightshades though :slightly_smiling_face:
