disappointed_lesbianI tried to have one-third to one-half a cup of berries and a slice of tofu for my midday snack. It worked for a while, but I wasn't able to make it to dinner. My body always wants more carbs. I felt weak and couldn't focus on studying.
I found a reddit thread in which several posters said that the body just gets used to eating often and needs time to adapt to fewer meals/fasting, time which can include feeling like shit and just pushing through. I'm not sure that'll work for me, and I don't want to spend less time studying while I wait to find out whether it will work. I've been trying to get my body to adapt forever, so I'm not sure what else to do. Decrease the snack by a teaspoon at a time?
I had another snack, but the effects didn't last long and I've been weak and hungry again this last hour leading up to dinner.
The mct oil doesn't seem to be helping with my appetite.
