Struggling with hunger? Get more...

I don't buy this for a second for ME (may work for others...)

I am currently practicing Intermittent Fasting (16 hours of fasting followed by 8 hour feeding window, daily) and when I actually do get to sleep in - which isn't often - I always wake up famished.

Being hungry after fasting... interesting concept.

Not so much, actually. On a normal day I am in bed by 11 pm, up at 5 am, workout, then don't have "breakfast" until around 9:30 am. It took about a week to adjust, but there is actually LESS hunger now in that routine than my previous routine of eating as soon as I woke up.

You still get the requisite amount of calories and hit your macro levels, you just do so in a shorter feeding window. Maximizes fat deposit losses, stabilizes blood sugars, and I'm lovin' it!

The example I gave in my first post was only a statement on the effects that getting "more" sleep has on me, which is to induce MORE hunger. My Intermittent Fasting routine does nothing more than establish a baseline.

thanks for the article i usually only get 5 hours of sleep a night i guess need to find a way to go to bed earlier
