24 hour fasts hit the brain more than the stomach
Trying a 24 hour fast today. I am taking a break from eating between dinner last night and dinner tonight. It is not my first time I have done this.
I am going to guess my ninth time doing this.
Not eating isn’t as hard as I expected. I now have power from the discovery that my moods and energy levels are not a product of my blood sugar levels or the fact that I haven’t eaten. At least from a nutrition perspective.
On the flip side I discover a lot of my mood and energy is a product of my mind and emotions. Food had become an excuse for me.
More importantly, food had become a distraction for me. Feeling bad? Probably need to eat. There we go, the feelings are replaced now.
Or, it turns out, just hidden.
