Hi heartincali, For me is has gotten easier each week. Am only in my third week but have found the fast days consistently easier each week. I fast separate days, from after dinner day before, to breakfast day after. Also, last two fast days I have found it much easier to just have coffee through the day then use all my 500 cals having dinner with the family. It’s obvious, but the trick is to keep busy and keep away from food as much as possible. I also prepare dinner early when not as tempted to nibble. I can relate to the 4pm hunger/lethargy but it passes very quickly if doing something else nice, like some time in the garden or a phone call to a friend. It’s worth it though as I have lost 3kg in first 3 weeks! Lots of people comment that the less they eat the less hungry they feel and that’s true for me. Maybe you could try a few different ways, but hang in there and Good Luck!
