Thank you very much, I appreciate it! I've been dealing with what I believe is an ulcer for about a year and a half now, and I've only recently had the common sense to try and make an effort of letting it heal.. So the hunger pangs that spur on sometimes in the first two days were more welcome than the fiery feeling of an upset ulcer. Especially recommend to those who have gastrointestinal issues, your gut's microbiome will reset and allow you to put good bacteria into it for recovery and balance.
Are you logging in all calories you eat, or just in general? Because you said you think it's the after-midnight snacking, and if it is it should be reflected in your total daily calorie totals, so that you don't trick yourself about how much you're eating.
I count every last bit. If something is say, 630 calories, I just bump it up to 700. Makes me less likely to go over the limit. It's just that some articles mention that eating right before sleeping will just make all the food go to fat (or something like that) so it's really counterproductive to do that. But at the same time, I just want to make sure that I'm logging it on the correct day. I always put it on the previous day just because I hadn't slept yet, if that makes sense.
Depends on how fucked your cycle is to start too.
That's interesting. The keto diet helps to get their cycles regular again? I have not put myself on a specific diet doing IF so just wondering if it'd help. My cycle lined up with my first week of IF and has been pretty irregular compared to the norm.
B/c PCOS really messes up, and is messed up by insulin levels, (even if you're not yet diabetic range...) lower carb, and very low carb diets keep things in check, reduce cysts, and help regulate things.
Ahhh, I see. That makes sense then. I'll have to look into it more
Low carb part is going to be tough though... I love rice too much lol.
