I've been practicing a 16:8 intermittent fasting schedule for about three months to manage my energy levels and weight, and while I've seen some benefits, I'm struggling with intense hunger and irritability in the late afternoon, which is affecting my work focus. I typically break my fast with a balanced lunch around noon. For others who have maintained this lifestyle long-term, what adjustments did you make to your eating window or meal composition to overcome these adaptation hurdles and sustain the routine without feeling miserable?
