I don't think I would mentally be able to not eat ANY food. I would probably just go really low carb...like I am trying to do today since I had pizza over the weekend
Once you are adapted, you would actually be pleasantly surprised how simple it is to just extend that not eating window a little. To experiment, just bump by 20 minutes, and see how far you can push it without feeling like you're starving or over-hungry. Usually, about 1 hour past your normal eating window, you will get an extra boost of ketone energy that feels amazing.
Due to not having a gallbladder (steady trickle of bile whether I eat or not), I can't extend my fasts as long as I would like without bathroom drama (I usually try for a midday fast - each breakfast and dinner, skip lunch). I never dreamed I could do it, but even an extra hour or two can really give your metabolism a much needed break and help bring down insulin levels.
