Early Risers and Midnight Cravings: Mastering Fasting with Mindful Mornings

While I have no trouble falling asleep, I struggle to finish my night’s sleep. Ideally, I should wake up around 7 AM, but I find myself waking up at 5 or 6 AM, unable to return to sleep.

I'm considering starting intermittent fasting (IF) for weight loss, but I struggle with anxiety and irritability if I go a few hours without eating during the day. As a stay-at-home mom to two toddlers, I need to be emotionally stable. How do other experienced fasters manage these symptoms? I'm thinking of trying the 16:8 method, with an eating window from 9 AM to 5 PM. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you kindly,   Seeking Stability Dear Seeking Stability, First off, kudos to you for taking steps on your intermittent fasting (IF) journey! 🎉 Now, let's talk about those pesky irritability gremlins that pop up when we go a few hours without munching. Part of the fasting adventure is discovering how food distracts us from what's really going on inside our minds. Yes, you'll likely experience some irritability, and that...
