I do 24-48 hour fasts weekly and for me the single biggest determinate of hunger is what I ate the day before.

Carbs, especially sugar and processed carbs make the fast day’s miserable. But if I stick to meat, vegetables and some whole grains it’s usually no big deal.



Strongly agree with that. Pasta dinner? I'll wake up ravenous. Smaller dinner of meat and vegetables? Won't feel hungry at all.


Yes! I've noticed this too. If I have a carb heavy meal at dinner, I'm much more hungry the next day than less carb heavy meal.


Takes longer for protein to be digested, it's just nutrition 101.
