Hi there,
I’m a nurse and do 12 hours shifts, day and night (7am-pm, vice versa). I’m having issues adjusting to night shifts while on keto and intermittent fasting. My usual eating window is 12pm-8pm and can maintain this while on days. But I just finished my first couple night shifts since starting this diet and I feel super bloated. Because I cannot go a whole night shift without eating, I usually finish my last meal in between 10pm-midnight. I start off my shift with a bulletproof coffee then have a “dinner” at around 11pm. For the rest of my shift, I drink a lot of water. When I get home, I go straight to bed and have my first meal of the day in between 12-2pm.
I’m wondering if anyone sticks to their normal eating window while on nights. If you break your eating window, how you adjust back to your regular routine after finishing your shift/set? What kind of foods do you eat? Any tips on not feeling gross the day after would be greatly appreciated
