Speaker (James Laughlin) recounts a typical day of frequent eating and caffeinated lattes with snacks and naps, describing repeated blood-sugar spikes and crashes that caused hunger and 'hanger.' The speaker says many fear that intermittent fasting will cause constant hunger, but argues it produces the opposite effect (chunk 1 anecdote).
I remember I got up in the morning, I ate breakfast first thing I went into my classroom, started having lattes throughout the morning, maybe a mid morning snack. Then I had lunch, then I had afternoon lattes. Then I would go home and take a nap because I felt so worn out. Then there would be dinner and maybe an after dinner snack. So all day long my blood sugar was doing this. When I ate, it went up and then it crashed back down, then it went back up, then it crashed back down. And I would feel hungry and hangry if too much time went by between eating. And probably everybody listening has experienced that. So you're afraid that that's what every minute is going to be like when you're living an intermittent fasting lifestyle, but it's actually the opposite of that.
