What should I do if I get hungry during fasting?

During the course of 168, I was fasting for 16 hours. It is inevitable that I sometimes feel hungry. 

At this time, you can drink caffeinated and non-calorie beverages such as green tea and coffee. 

These beverages are a little helpful for burning fat and can also suppress appetite. 

However, some studies have pointed out that 168 fasting people tend to rely on caffeine. 

Wang Siheng pointed out that caffeine and hunger are two different things, 

because the body will adapt to hunger, and blood sugar will gradually stabilize. 

"In my case, I used a continuous blood glucose monitor to find that after 168 years, 

the body will get used to digestion at lunch and dinner. , 

Eating blood sugar is quite stable. 

If you eat breakfast or supper, your blood sugar will spike, 

which shows that the body can adjust to eating habits.” 

Therefore, when the body adapts, the hunger will gradually disappear, 

and naturally it will slowly Do not rely on caffeine, 

"give yourself 2 weeks. If the hunger persists after 2 weeks, 

you must think about whether it is suitable for 168 fasting."

During the 8-hour eating period, also pay attention to the choice of ingredients. 

Yang Kunche, an attending physician at the Department of Family Medicine of the Beihu Branch of National Taiwan University Hospital, 

pointed out that the essence of 168 fasting is no different from traditional diets and fasting. 

The focus is on calorie control. 

"Compared with the calories of food, one of the advantages of 168 fasting is convenience. , 

Eat within 8 hours and fast at other times, but still pay attention to the content of the diet, 

such as not eating too much starch, eating more fruits and vegetables, etc." 

Wang Siheng also suggested not to eat processed foods and refined starches, eat more protein and diet Fiber and low-glycemic index foods can increase satiety and reduce the chance of hunger during fasting.
