I think I need to give intermittent fasting another go. I tried it for a week last month and definitely lost a bit of weight without getting too hungry. I found that it seemed to affect me mentally though. I just felt a bit foggy and less sharp than usual. I was struggling to keep up in meetings and was making basic fuck ups at work. I stopped the fasting and it seemed to sort me out but maybe I need to try again.
Getting used to being hungry is essential. Up at 530, work at 630. Make coffee 1 at work around then, coffee 2 at 9am, this just about allows me to get through, but 11-12 is hungry time.
Creatine is supposed to help with mental sharpness too.
Yeah, it wasn't the hunger that I struggled with. I just couldn't concentrate. I did some research (looked at Reddit) this afternoon and apparently it's really common and you just need more electrolytes to counteract it. I reckon I'll give it another punt and see if that helps.
