Intermittent fasting can potentially influence “hangryness” as a coping mechanism. “Hangry” is a term that combines hunger with anger and describes irritability during hunger[2]. Some individuals experience irritability and mood swings when they are hungry, and intermittent fasting may initially exacerbate these feelings. However, proponents of fasting suggest that the “hangriness” dissipates over time as the body adjusts to the fasting routine[5]. Additionally, there are several strategies to curb cravings and manage hunger during intermittent fasting, such as increasing protein intake, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and keeping busy and distracted[3][4]. While there is anecdotal evidence that fasting can help reset emotional eating patterns, it's important to approach fasting with caution, especially if you have underlying health conditions. If you are considering intermittent fasting, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure it is safe for you[5].
