Things that surprised you about fasting!

I was talking to my friend yesterday about fasting and didn't believe some of the things I was saying, but to be fair I might have not believed them myself! e.g.,

I don't wake up starving hungry after a fast day
I can actually make a pretty decent meal out of 500 calories
I still have the energy to work out when I'm fasting
&
This WOE has totally changed my attitude towards dieting, I feel totally relaxed about it now which is an absolute first for me

What about you, has anything surprised you since you started?

Similar to you really

I don't wake up starved
I can actually go till 1pm without much of an issue with no food
500 cals actually goes a long way if you plan it right

I have only been doing it 5 days though so don't have any more surprises yet - I am sure there will be some though lol

Mmm- similar again

I don't wake up starving
I can fast for 36 hours - it won't kill me if I don't eat (I'm still here after 6 months)
I enjoy my food more when I'm not fasting

Defo with you on that last one debridger! Just makes you appreciate nicer things doesn't it

I'm surprised that I can go until tea time without eating anything at all. I used to think ppl who 'forgot to eat' were a bit bonkers but it is much easier than I thought it would be!
