Yo first I wanted to say your “A Day in the Life” post inspired tf out of me. I’ve been consistently hittin 6 days of Z2 and 3+ days of lifting a week on a caloric deficit for a month now, so thank you for that

I intermittent fast most days for the focus. I have a cup of coffee as well. But come lunchtime it seems that no matter what I eat, the food goes right through me.

These are usually 700, maybe 800 cal meals (grilled chix, spinach, lentils, salsa). I’m wondering if it would help to take a digestive enzyme daily whenever I break this intermittent fast? Or is there something to look out for that I may be overlooking?

This is really only an issue when I eat after 16+ hours of fasting

Great to hear bro!

This usually happens after longer fasts. I personally use oral bpc 30 mins before breaking my fast to prevent

What you might need to do is have a light meal with easily digestible foods (ie eggs, rice, yogurt)

All those vegetables and fibers probably irritating your gut and triggering the reflex

Longterm you wanna probably do an elimination diet and get rid of trigger foods
