Fixing my vitamin d deficiency
Multiple day fasts every few weeks
Probiotics
Sleeping better and getting enough sleep
Not having any time alone to be bored
If I’m outside and doing something all day, or I’m really involved in reading a book or painting something, over half a day will pass before I realize I forgot to eat breakfast.
But if I’m relaxing, wasting time on the internet, or not really doing much, I get an urge to grab a snack or have a glass of milk that’ll hit me once an hour.
Beware: I did it for a few years, but it burned all my motivation. I can't even fast a day now.
Electrolytes seem to be key. Plus keeping distracted.
My stomach wasn't hungry but my brain wanted to eat. This experience burned my motivation to basically starve myself and now I can't even do a one day fast, the mood isn't just there.
> keeping distracted
This is probably the key. I was bored to death and was watching YT cooking videos.
I guess for me, improving sleep involved lots of small changes:
Consistent bed time.
More exercise and sun exposure during the day.
Black out blinds at night.
The kids started sleeping in more so I can wake up naturally.
Cutting back on caffeine.
