Really enjoying IF and it's had enormous benefits for me. The doc
basically said my latest bloods are outstanding, way, way down from
the serious telling-off I got 6 months ago. I'm not using someone
else's schedule, just listening to my body and pushing boundaries as
hard as my fitness will allow.
But there are mental "downsides" to reckon with.
It's not grumpiness, but rather a "predatory" state. Not quite
aggression - a little more of the warrior mode circuits seems switched
on. Plus general heightened emotion and general willingness to speak
the truth, fight/defend others, take risks.... Working out how to deal
with that and integrate it positively is my present challenge.

Anyone else getting that?
