Intermittant Fasting question



Recommended Posts

I started back with IF about a month ago, once I felt I could consume enough nutrition in a limited time. I am doing 16/8 or there abouts. It is going just fine with plenty of energy and no hunger at all in the mornings, However, when it is time to eat, I am usually feeling pretty hungry. Even though my Portion Control is OK, I am getting a bit of tummy upset/foamies/slimies with the first meal of the day. I suspect I am eating too quickly. This doesn't happen with other meals. I know I need to slow down, but I wonder if the empty pouch just gets a shock when food enters for the first time each day. Anyone else experiencing this with IF? Do you break your fast with a regular meal, or do you ease into it with something soft like a smoothie?

I used to break it with a non IF approved drink before the meal but not a smoothie or Protein Shake.

However

There is a huge thread for IF with a lot of participants, search there for a wider range of answers.

I searched for the thread but couldn't find it. I'll keep looking. Thanks.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
