I find I need to limit carbs (but not low carb, but like one piece of toast instead of 2) and get enough fat (a biggie) and protein with dinner or I’m snacky later and ravenous in the morning. Took some playing around, but once I sorted that (and dinner isn’t my biggest meal) I can go from 6pm to 12pm no issues
Electrolytes for sure are helpful for headaches and curbing carvings and hunger. Sodium, potassium, magnesium without sweeteners and add ons if possible.
My first week on IF was very hard on me. The second one was better, but starting from my third, I felt I could do it long term and be happy with it. The adjustment time is needed. It’s very personal but it goes better in time!
Make sure you eat plenty of protein. If your not used to assessing your meals for protein content use a tracker till your used to it and know your consuming 30-50 grams at each meal. Carbs will do morning to satiate you. Protein and fat for the win.
Stay hydrated, plenty of water and when it’s time to eat then eat. In the diet that you choose, consume enough or more than enough protein because it takes the longest to digest and helps keep the muscles strong as well as help with satiety keeping you feeling satisfied or satiated or full lol choose a word.
