If you look into fasting, you are experiencing is the gherlin hormone,it makes your stomach growl. Give it 20 minutes, drink some water & do something else. Ignoring it will make your body eat the fat stores instead & the growl sensation goes away in about 20 minutes.i lost an easy 10# ignoring it.
But be careful. In my 20s, I permanently broke my metabolism by fasting. I now have no problem fasting for lengthy periods (I rarely feel hunger) but (e.g.) after a recent illness where I didn't eat for 3 days & only drank scant water, I had *gained* 4 lbs. Doctors will say that's impossible until++
I'm in the hospital (for other stuff) on a controlled & monitored diet & they can verify that I'm not "sneaking" any calories. Then they just shrug & tell me I should lose weight anyway.
As an ethical-vegan I'm used to there being nothing suitable for me to consume. I'm happy to go days without food.. if you push through that hunger you can go 2 weeks without food and come out the other side feeling like a billion bux.
I have a friend who raves about the benefits of intermittent fasting and how your body burning fat for energy instead of food makes a huge difference in his and his wife’s physical and mental health. I may have to check it out.
I think lowering carbohydrates helps kick your metabolism into body fat burning. It’s more difficult for body to access fat stores and if you eat high carbohydrates food your body will access that first and leave fat stores untouched. We are actually pretty good for surviving duress and lack of food

I learned that eating fat & or protein is the only way to stop embarrassing gut grumbles.
Anyway, just be careful. ❤️
me: eat the fat
stomach: it’s not good for you
me: then why did you make it???!
