Water Fasting and Depression?
Hello again,
I’ve been on this weight loss journey for over a year as stated before but nothing has changed. However, over these last couple of days I’ve found the reason why.
For over a year I’ve struggled with depression, but only recently have I’ve come to that realization. I was too ashamed and scared to admit it to myself (as well as others) due to the stigma surrounded by mental health. However, I’m tired of being tired, and sluggish, and unhappy. And with advice and support from my doctor, he himself has advised me to take a step into fasting.
Studies have shown that fasting can take the same effect as antidepressants, who knew? I’ve read thousands of times that fasting can lead to mental clarity, but I never understood what that meant till now.
So for this journey that I’m taking I’m not solely going to focus on my weight loss, but also on my mental health and my mood changes throughout the days.
I’m interested in seeing the effects this has on my body and mind. I guess we will see tomorrow if I feel any different clarity wise.
