Fasting and Keto

Help

I’ve been fasting for over two years (OMAD) for the last 8 months- and have been doing Keto for a little over a month. I experienced no hunger in the last during my fasts but now I am counting down the minutes until I can break my fast. I thought Keto was supposed to help me fast not make it harder

You're not fat adapted. 8-10 wks the real benefits kick in.

Sardines, arugula, herring, mackerel, eggs, spinach, cabbage, mushrooms, olive oil, avocados, coconut oil, salmon, beef cuts, ghee, and olives. All in varying quantities but never over 20g total carbs.

And what are your goals on keto? Are you eating at a caloric defecit for weight loss or eating at or above maintenance for other reasons?

I’m eating at a slight surplus, slowly building muscle
