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.
