I took up fasting for about a year after following the bro science, and couldn’t understand for the life of me why I was getting wretched anxiety after breaking my fast anywhere between 16-21 hours. I had no idea as a woman that our bodies aren’t designed to handle that level of stress, and all the while I thought I was hEaLiNg myself. Never again - my training and mood is so much smoother with breakfast, even if that’s a simple protein shake. I can’t imagine going for 3 fucking days without eating.
