Been doing the whole don't-eat-breakfast thing (a.k.a. intermittent fasting to the techier crowd, a.k.a. starving myself into submission) for about a month now, maybe a little less. I find it marginally less torturous than I did in the beginning, but I'm still raging hungry for the first hours of the day. On the plus side, I've lost about 6 lbs in the approximately 4 weeks I've been at it, which is a little ahead of the rate I expected based purely on a calorie-deficit basis. I figured I was cutting about 500/day, which would equate to 1 lb/wk all other things equal. But as we know with biology all other things are rarely equal, so maybe it's 6 lbs this month, but 2 next...who knows. Anyone else have experience with this? Does the hunger get better or is this just me?
