How to D...@Anonymous,<br /><br />Have you checked this post:<br /><br /><a href="http://inhumanexperiment.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-deal-with-5-most-common.html" rel="nofollow">How to Deal With the 5 Most Common Difficulties of Fasting</a><br /><br />The hunger cycle didn't change significantly after the first two months or so. The period of brain fog was definitely there even after a year. Some people apparently don't experience it, but I did. If possible, I'd just sleep through the brain fog or do something that doesn't require mental effort. Walking outside in fresh air is pretty good.<br /><br />I don't find IF harder during stress. In fact, it may even be easier -- when I'm busy working on something, it takes my mind off food and hunger, and brain fog excluded, I'm able to concentrate better. It's when I'm bored and stress-free that I start thinking about eating just for fun.<br /><br />And yes, it's easy to get things done in the morning and early afternoon when fasting. Though I'm not doing the 24/24 hour cycle anymore, I often still fast on the mornings, because I feel like I have more energy and motivation to get things done. <br /><br />Overall, the effect on work performance has been positive in my opinion. Still, skipping breakfast and lunch is even better in terms of work performance, because doing 24/24 IF, every other day means big breakfasts and lunches, which reduces my work performance.<br /><br />- JLLJLLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200324973565346888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-33024905562640582282010-07-29T18:06:04.573+03:002010-07-29T18:06:04.573+03:00I have found your posts quite inspiring. Because I...I have found your posts quite inspiring. Because I am a student, brain fog, or fear of it, is the main thing that has kept me from IFing more often.<br /><br />To what extent has this hunger cycle changed since you've began IF? It seems from this post that the fast is always a little hard psychologically, and the period of brain fog never completely vanishes, even after several months of ADF.<br /><br />What do you generally end up doing during the 20th-hour period? Do you just stare at the computer screen and drool? Or are there other things you have found it possible to do adequately even through the fog?<br /><br />Do you find it becomes harder to maintain the IF during periods of psychological stress, particularly work-related?<br /><br />It sounds like your approach to work during a fasting day is generally to accomplish a lot in the morning and early afternoon, in anticipation of accomplishing much less the rest of the afternoon and perhaps nothing in the evening. Is this correct? And, to what extent do you think ADF has affected your work performance overall?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
