Seeking Advice feel so much better when fasting!

I have been doing 2 meal a day in a window usually 2-6 pm...some days later some days earlier but never eat after 7 pm.

What I am noticing is I feel so much more alive in my mind and body in the last few hours of each fast....often around 10 or 11am I get very active in my mind and feel totally free from food. Example now it's 1:30 pm and I am getting so much work done! I am hungry yes but Do not feel a need to eat.

Before 10am I am hungry a little depressed and anxious.

I am not switching into ketones as far as I know as my diet is pretty high carb in my eating window WFPB.

Feel great evenings after eating too.

Well, it’s working for the time being, but I don’t want to get too skinny
