[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get how people do this. I wake up so hungry everyday. And this is even though I end most nights with a bowl of cereal right before bed. I would pass out by 8am. Bodies be crazy. [/quote]

That’s because of the way you eat. IF works best on a diet that also minimizes blood sugar spikes (which creates crashes in your blood sugar and a need to eat). Your cereal bowl in the evening (even the absolute top healthiest granola you think you are eating) is a sugar bomb. It creates your big morning craving.

Not everyone feels it as strongly but I was like you. I felt like I HAD to eat very X hours because if not I would feel like I was going to faint (weak, dizzy, burning empty stomach). When I got rid of the fast/empty carbs, the sugar and even the “healthy” high GI foods, that feeling and type of hunger disappeared.

I still get hungry of course, but a hunger that feels much more manageable and makes me actually alert not weak. Hard to explain but so clear when you live it.

Read Gary taubes’ articles in the NYT, listen to Robert Lustig’s podcast. Good luck ![/quote]

DP.  I don't know what kind of cereal that PP is eating but you are discounting fiber.  A high fiber meal is not a sugar bomb.  Taubes, Lustig et al have some ideas but aren't right about everything.  [/quote]

Incredibly doubtful their nightly cereal has lots of fiber unless it is Fiber One . Almost all breakfast cereals are nutritionally deficient if not empty. (And I love cereal but it’s true) [/quote]
