CorrectThere are many thousands or millions or potentially even infinite (because adaptation) bodily mechanisms that we are unaware about. There could be positive health effects unknown to us that outweigh the negative. There also could be more negative health effects we do not know about that outweigh the positive. Just because there's some bad things about fasting doesn't mean the positives can't counter them.. and vice versa.
The most important thing to do, is what feels right for you.
Yes, I often am not thirsty nor hungry.Have you tried intermittent dry fasting?
How late is your dinner?So I have had gut and autoimmune symptoms for a long time now. I always remember how I liked to Intermittent fast when younger, and felt better doing that. Now after starting the IF again, I feel million times better. So while ray peat and haidut and this forum hates fasting, then why the **** should I try to force food when not hungry. When fasting, I actually have no cortisol/adrenaline symptoms at all, but feel much calmer and energetic and warm. When eating, I often get brain fog, and many other symptoms. So what is the risk of doing intermittent fasting if it works for me and feels good?
Amen! Denying true hunger repeatedly is stressful and will get you into trouble. So can overeating late in the day such that you're never hungry in the morning (unless you have amazing digestion and stomach acid I guess). I don't consider it "fasting" to not eat when you're not hungry. That is just normal behavior. Trust your body, don't eat when others tell you toJust eat when you’re hungry
I probably get hungry/feel like I have to eat first time in the day at around 1-3pm. Sometimes I eat already in the 10am but not that oftenHow late is your dinner?
Can you describe this a bit?I did intermittent fasting for about three years straight. Got ripped. Felt "good" during the fasts.
Crashed and burned about a year ago and still trying to recover. The stress hormones build up quite a bit.
Right, but how about your dinner the night before?I probably get hungry/feel like I have to eat first time in the day at around 1-3pm. Sometimes I eat already in the 10am but not that often
Usually the last meal is between 9 to 11 pmRight, but how about your dinner the night before?

Don, Ray did say that you shouldn't eat if [stressed or anxious] as you wouldn't digest it anyway. Your lack of morning hunger is surely stress so what you're doing actually is Peaty.I have tried fresh OJ and pomegranate juice, but these too often cause bloating and brain fog. And then sometimes not. Overall it seems that I dont have enough stomach acid, so too much liquids make the problem worse.
And I dont get stress reaction from IF. I got stress reactions from eating in the morning sometimes, probably from the endotoxin and bad digestion. Anyway, it seems that its best to just follow the appetite and instincts. If there is 0 appetite, then your body must be telling you something with that
