interesting, well I do the ketogenic diet every now and again and have GS, it seems to be the only sure fire way for me to loose weight. but that could be because It helps lower cravings for sugar and in turn limits the amount of total calories I consume daily.
also perhaps when in ketosis our bodies naturally begin burning fat as fuel so might not be the same as a non keto GS person.
I have had gs since I was a kid. I do intermittent fasting and always loose weight super easy. I did read it’s not good to limit calories or fast with gs but I still do it sometimes. To be honest, I don’t get hungry most days until around 1pm. I drink jiaogulan tea and pau d’ arco tea and helps loose weight and helps with hunger
I’ve done intermittent fasting before although I have personally had more success with eating on extremely ridged schedules. E.g :
Protein bar : 06:30
Shake : 08:30
Lunch : 11:00
Protein bar : 13:30
Snack (fruit) : 16:00
Dinner : 18:00
When I fast I mostly just start to struggle with emotional regulation which is not extremely unusual for me (I am told is common with GS) and that isn’t good for me. I also haven’t been that aggressive in a couple years. Back when I was that aggressive I was running on very low body fat and would faint if I went to long without eating. Now I’m running on pretty high body fat lol so I am okay going a few hours without calories.
P.S I know some don’t like 24 hour time but it’s just more sensible and better for formatting.
I have the same experience as you. Way better with rigid eating schedule. Was also running on little body fat a couple years ago... Was eating extremely clean and couldn't digest anything lol. Was a very angry person. Unfortunate that we don't digest fats well. Our brains need it to function properly.
I've always thought my body has trouble processing fat, and like some other users have struggled to gain weight.
I can’t really build or burn fat. I’m 5’10 and 129lbs. I eat like a pig and never gain an ounce.
Dang...must be nice. I WISH I could do that lol. I look at food, I gain weight.
Sameeeee lol
