The Science of Fasting

Delta 8 is available pretty much anywhere in the country, and is an acceptable "legal" alternative.
I just ordered some from burmanshealthshop.com
Their stuff is all 3rd party tested and they have been having a sale on carts for as little as $10-$15. They usually run between $30-$45
 
I have discovered a new side effect. Been feeling cold a lot more than usual. At first, and it might be part of it, I attributed it to adjusting to the fat loss. Noticed that after lunch I am no longer cold.


Studies show that long-term calorie restriction with adequate nutrition is associated with lower body temperature in both lean and overweight adults (2Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source).

As a result of the lower calorie intake, the body compensates by lowering its temperature to save energy.

Furthermore, one study found that the more you restrict your calorie consumption, especially long term, the colder you’re likely to feel
 
I am currently under the weather. This is the THIRD time I've had a cold since early October. Is it the season? Maybe. But end of September is also the last time I was earnestly doing IF.

I noticed a while back that on my 20+ hour fasts I get really cold for a few hours around the 20 to 24 hour mark. I’m usually very warm natured, but it can be an uncontrollable coldness. Shiver my arse off for a few hours and then I’m back to normal.
 
I have not done IF in a year, my diet just stabilized completely since I moved in with my girl friend. Her niece has come to live with us, however, and she loves Italian food. So I have been doing more than my normal share of the cooking and I have gained about 5 pounds. I ate my last meal before 4pm today. Even though I haven't needed it at all for weight loss these days, I have actually kind of missed it. So I am excited to pick it back up for 3 or 4 days. And I am betting that even though it took me over a month to put on those 5 pounds, I will be right back where I want to be by Sunday. We shall see.
 
48 hours into my Lenten fast. Definitely going to go through Ash Wednesday and his long to take it from there.

Marsha, you gonna give another go?

I used to love the cold but ever since I changed my eating and lost a ton of weight, I am far more sensitive to the cold. On the flip side, I enjoy hot weather a lot more now lol
