Some people do great with fasting and don’t find it all that challenging.  And then there’s the rest of us.

First of all, if you haven’t fasted in a while, consider it.

Secondly, and here’s my tip, when hunger hits it is like a fussy child.  It screams for about 30-40 minutes and then calms down.

When that comes on, make a personal note of the time.  Activate “screaming child mode” which means under no circumstances whatsoever can you make a decision to break your fast, give in, or anything of the like.  After the hour, reassess.  And you will often find that the screaming child hunger pangs have dissipated.
