I am currently doing IF. 16-20 hour fast daily.
I was looking at my diet and i was thinking i wasn't incorporating enough fats. I intake around 3200-3500 calories a day. I stopped tracking macros (Was getting very obsessional and unsocialable). Yesterday i had a quick log and my fats just weren't enough (60g). I think this is a main issue for my appetite being all over the place (Never feel fully satiated)
Lastnight i bought some Grass Fed Butter and lumped a block into a stir fry i made. After my meal i just got a nice 'Satiated' feeling. I usually go to bed and think. Theirs protein bars in that drawer.... Have to fight the idea of eating the box but lastnight i didn't have that urge. My fats were up at 100g+
I was thinking of trying to incorporate a bulletproof coffee in the mornings. I have got MCT oil + Grass fed butter.
Do you think that changing from the IF to incorporating the Bulletproof coffee would be a good/bad idea? Just wanted to start the day with an easily digested source of calories and if it helps this horrid appetite then it would be such relief.
Update....
I have just had my first bulletproof coffee. 30g of Butter + 15g of Coconut Oil. I have good coffee beans also so i brewed a coffee and mixed these in a blender. Tbh.. Tasted pretty awesome... I use to always drink coffee black so any addition will taste better lol I had this about 20 minutes ago and my hunger has completely deminished. I actually feel REALLY good. Placebo at its finest though lol But.. If i break a fast with ANY food. Even veggies it seems to trigger my brain to eat and eat and eat. Even within minutes. This has always been my issue. The reason why i do fast's as such long periods. I have zero urges to eat anything else just now. An easy 350 calories without any grief seems a win win for me.
What's everyone's thoughts? If i kept this same satiety feeling i have right now then i could hold off a long while.
Anyone else done it for long periods and had good results?
