Hungry during fast?

#1

Hello all,

I have not had any fasting experience but I read a lot about it, so I thought I’d give it a try.
I have always been a breakfast dodger, so a fast between tea (around 7:00pm) and my first break (11:15am) had never been a big issue at all. For a week now I have been trying a 16/8 fast, but I find myself getting hungry during the fast. My stomach rumbles but I don’t really fancy anything.

Is this normal? I suppose it is, however I thought I’d better ask the experts.

It can be, but it may not be.

You might want to take some salt and just let it disolve on your tongue. Many times, it can be as simple as an electrolyte imbalance.

I never thought of this. I do take supplements once a day, but tomorrow I will take some salt to see if it makes a difference. Thanks for your help!
