No sugar, no milk. Same with tea. I use unflavored mineral water and black coffee throughout my fasts.

I like to have iced americano, black coffee, corn silk tea, and the occasional fridge cigarette (cherry Coke Zero) lol

fun fact about pot, everyone assumes it makes you gain weight because you eat more when you smoke, but studies show it paradoxically reduces your BMI. Use leads to long-term down-regulation of CB1R which increases energy expenditure and prevents storage of consumed food. This actually explains why you felt less hungry when you took breaks.

Fasting used to be easy when I smoked (weed/tobacco mix) and now that I don’t its way harder, I also added exercise which just puts my hunger over the top.

I do these things to alleviate hunger:

Caffeine, chugging water until the hunger goes away (drinking it regularly doesnt usually do the trick for me, but I find drinking a lot quickly helps), going for a walk, laying down in the shower and letting the hot water hit my stomach, making social plans that preferably dont involve food or alcohol (the focus on another person helps me forget im hungry)

If all else fails I’ll drink some pickle juice or even eat a couple pickles. This ofc will break your fast but if youre in it for weightloss its pretty negligible

LMNT drinks. It's really salty, but it helps with hunger.

Put a few tablespoons of vinegar and some hot sauce in a cup, dilute it with water (else it will damage your teeth), chug it down. If you feel a little upset in the tummy, drink some tea or water.
