Just not hungry

I do an intermittent fast twice a week. Since starting a low carb, keto diet, I am just not hungry-this coming from someone who was ALWAYS hungry! It's amazing to me how carbs can f*** with your metabolism and your mind, making you think/feel that you're starving, when you're so over-nourished that you're killing yourself with food! Anyway, I digress!
I did a 24 hour fast from noon yesterday until noon today. Then I had a salad and a few buffalo chicken wings. Now it's time for dinner, and I'm just not hungry! I have mixed emotions, as I'm done with my I-Fasting for today, and feel that I maybe ought to eat something, but then again, why eat if I'm not hungry!? I can plan a good breakfast tomorrow, and enjoy that, and maybe even a little lost weight!
I NEVER imagined that I would be able to say that "I'm just not hungry, and don't want to eat!"

I think you're smashing it! I'm not able to fast yet but I can't wait to! I'm currently breastfeeding my daughter and IF is a no-go. When I have done it I get amazing results! And I don't eat if I'm not hungry!0

Thanks for that! Yes, you need nutrition for your baby! Breast is best!0

Did fasting speed up weight loss?0

Yes, it has! It's not super fast, but it's steady progress. I do work out hard, and I have gained a lot of muscle. My body is looking much better, despite what the scale says. I have to get over that. A lot of my clothes are now too big now, and will be donated to GoodWill this weekend! I haven't measured myself for a while, but I know I've lost a lot of inches.
IF makes the rest of the day easier to not overeat. When I do IF, I start my day with a cup of bulletproof coffee. That's coffee, with a tbsp of grass-fed butter, and some heavy cream. So, I'm getting calories, and fat, but the fat helps to kickstart the fat-burning process.0 -
The part about keto is this: I HATE butter! So thinking about drinking coffee with a big hunk of butter and coconut oil, plus heavy cream, makes me want to vomit. Any ideas?0

I totally agree that it sounds disgusting, but have you tried it yet? It doesn't taste like a grease slick. It's creamy, which is how I like my coffee. When I first started I needed the sweet flavor so added one trivia packet. Then I lost the need for sweet and don't use the trivia anymore.0 -
You could probably just leave out the butter, and have heavy cream and coconut/MCT oil in it?0

I was a bit funny my first time I had BPC but it definitely grows on you. If you have one everyday, "normal" coffee now tastes odd.0

Hello everyone, I just started yesterday and I love coffee with regular milk
I tried coconut milk but was not nice
I don't know about the heavy cream, I will buy it and try but for now I am drinking black coffee0
