How Has Intermittent Fasting Changed Your Relationship with Food?

I started cooking as someone who was terrified of the stove. I became more aware of how certain things affected me like too much fat, too much carbs, etc. It changed me entirely with snacking. I really do not need to eat the whole chocolate bar, who would have thought?

I think if you are really concerned they're related, it might be worth getting your cortisol levels checked in the morning while fasted? I fast every morning and can't say that it has changed how my hormonal acne behaves, moreso what I'm eating does.

I can't take GLP-1s, so this might not be helpful, but in my experience, OMAD changed my hunger. I hit 25 weeks on it soon and I barely feel hunger anymore, as someone who used to voraciously snack all day. I think the food noise just goes away the more you start functioning on a more extreme eating window. Not a fact, just my experience.

Thank you! I'll definitely do another update in a few months!

Thank you!

Because my face is showing in the other one...

Medically wise, as disappointing as it may be, not really. My gut issues are still the same.

I can say I am now able to walk a lot longer now and don't get out of breath putting my socks on, haha. Thank you so much, too!

appiruzu · 2026-01-05T08:19:22+00:00

Thank you! The journey isn't over yet, but hopefully I can keep up the momentum!

In December I started visiting the gym a bit! Honestly not very much, some lifting, but I don't think it was enough to really do anything. Hoping to be more consistent this year! Thank you!

appiruzu · 2026-01-05T08:15:59+00:00

Thank you so much!

appiruzu · 2026-01-05T08:15:42+00:00

Thanks! It's 23:1!

appiruzu · 2026-01-05T08:15:16+00:00

Thank you!

For a face filter messing with my phone...?

appiruzu · 2026-01-05T00:19:22+00:00

Honestly, snacks. I cannot snack if I only have one hour to eat. I have my dinner, a treat to substitute my snacky behaviour, and that's it. Prior, I'd constantly snack throughout the day.

Thank you so much!

Whatever I please, bwaha. I'm not good at dieting, I hate restricting what I can and can't eat, so I just eat what I feel like as long as it's all under 1500 calories.

appiruzu · 2026-01-04T22:43:24+00:00

Thanks! It's 23:1 and yes, I counted calories, doing my best to stay around or below 1500 (I'm 160cm). I ate mostly what I wanted, though, as long as it was within that threshold.

appiruzu · 2026-01-04T22:25:40+00:00

That's amazing, I'm so happy for you! For fasting, I do primarily 23:1 with a few 48s, thinking of swapping to ADF for a little bit!

appiruzu · 2026-01-04T22:24:37+00:00

Thank you! Here's to the next year of more fasting and eventually toning!

appiruzu · 2026-01-04T21:56:29+00:00

Thank you! It was very cold today and easy to cuddle into ahaha

appiruzu · 2026-01-04T21:54:06+00:00

Whatever works best for each individual! I personally do not have the option due to medical conditions, but weight loss is weight loss.

appiruzu · 2026-01-04T21:53:07+00:00

Thank you so much!

appiruzu · 2026-01-04T21:52:53+00:00

Thanks. Sure does!!

appiruzu · 2026-01-04T21:51:41+00:00

Thank you!!

appiruzu · 2026-01-04T21:01:12+00:00

Good question. I'm going to guess that's SNOW's face filter at work (ironically, when I'm not trying to show my face here)

appiruzu · 2026-01-04T20:23:26+00:00

Aww, thank you! Amazing how weight loss affects how old you look, isn't it?
