Because you are starving yourself anon

Of course your senses gonna be enthusiastic when they see a single gram of external energy

I started fasting thanks to my childhood hero’s unintended advice. I’d seen him around all the time but never managed to talk to him as a kid. Even after he’d improved, he was still frequently blue but became elated at the mere mention of fasting. He could go on about it for ages, bragging and joking.

All the friends in the world couldn’t break his unhealthy lifestyle, but they certainly tried. His best friend Miles in particular tried everything to get him to eat well, but concern can't overcome inertia, only aid you in doing so.

The 90s were a rough time for him and I sincerely believe that fasting saved his life. I caught a glimpse of him back then standing on the sidewalk with a hotdog in each hand, chili dripping off his face, belly distended and groaning like a ship losing rivets, surrounded by worried faces. His eyes shot open as he finally overcame inertia. He said to no one in particular the words that changed my paunchy little life. “Gotta go fast.”

Fasting has changed my life.

Fast for 20 hours, eat for 4, then do whatever I want 1 day a week. I've lost 50 pounds and kept it off for 8 years. Any time I start to creep back up, I'll start fasting again. Magic.

You shouldn't do this kind of stuff without talking to your doctor and have a blood panel done.

No kidding. I've been malnourished before. There's a moment after taking vitamins and having a meal when it feels like the best drug ever. Better than dilaudid. Better than cocaine. Better than an orgasm. Apparently, according to my previous sexual partners and what I I've seen in pornos, I tend to have way more intense and longer lasting orgasms than most males. Still, the feeling of getting nutrients in my bloodstream after starving felt better than that...for about 20-30 mins! I was seriously just rubbing my skin and stretching my muscles, looking like I was in pure ecstasy. Imagine the peak of orgasm for 20-30 mins long. If that feeling could be turned into a drug, it would be the most addictive drug ever known.

I tried water fasting and felt great until around day 3 when insomnia kicked in

Sorry Anon, everything you say is true, but you're sentencing yourself to thinking about food all day every day.

Fasting may be not healthy, unless your doctor say it is good for you. I've tried fasting and now I am a classic yo-yo problem example.

Ramadan isn't that far away from now, maybe you should try that. Or don't, it's just a suggestion.

What's water fasting? Not drinking enough water for multiple days?

I do a short fast 1-2 times a year and this isn't far off. Hunger day 1 and 2 but by day 3 you're full of energy. I wouldn't break it with a juice box though, I like to do an Apple. Stick to whole foods and healthy fats.

He's not exaggerating.

Can attest. I feel a little high after 24 hours or so on a water fast too, tingly and spaced, it's an enjoyable way to safely lose weight.

Still plenty of energy of I have anything to do, but I can zone out watching tv all day and lose another half pound, or go for a long walk and goodbye a pound that day.

I went for three consecutive weeks without eating last year. The food I got after was horrible, but it felt so good to eat.
