@jasoncdivis The focus from fasting is due to 1) your brain running off of ketones, which are an optimal fuel source, 2) blood flow/energy not being focused on digesting food. I hope this helps! I think the answer to this question differs slightly for multi day fasting vs intermittent.

[derekralston @derekralston]

@jasoncdivis Drinking water is waking your digestive system up (and might help you eliminate), but not the same as when you eat… When you eat, blood flows to your digestive system for several hours. This causes the grogginess after a large meal.

[derekralston @derekralston]

@jasoncdivis Great question @jasoncdivis ! During a fast, the body gradually switches from using food/glycogen for fuel to ketones/fat, after 24 hrs most food and glycogen stores are fully depleted and ketosis begins.

We’ve been conditioned by the food industry to believe that fasting will make us underperform. Snickers labeled their candy bars with words such as sleepy, grouchy, and impatient.

Intermittent fasting is popular for a reason—it works. Not only does it work, but it’s easy to incorporate into your daily work routine. One of the easiest ways to do it is by skipping breakfast.
