feeling miserable on 16:8?????
literally feel weak since most people do 16:8 with ease but my hunger gets severe and primal at just 6-7 hours without eating but if I wait til hour 9-10 the hunger will subside but then within another few hours other symptoms appear, once I fall asleep at all of my dreams revolve around food, and then I will wake up in the middle of the night/very early morning and be unable to fall back asleep, with hunger nausea, lightheadnesses, and more intense primal hunger.
I have tried ALL tips, drinking (multiple) cups of water, electrolytes, doesn't work. In fact, drinking more water actually makes me MORE hungry. No activity can distract me, no matter what I get myself busy with, I am thinking about food and when the next time i can eat throughout every activity. Even if I try to distract myself with something gross, like cleaning the toilet or my cat's litter box, it doesn't decrease my apetite in the slightest, and I'm still thinking about and practically salvating over the thought of food even throughout it. Eating less carbs during my eating window. Eating high protein meals during my eating window. Absolutely nothing works.
I don't understand why I'm so miserable as if I haven't eaten in days in only a 16 hour span.
