> * I've been giving intermittent fasting a try and it's been quite amazing to me to realize how I've always equated the slightest feeling of hunger with the idea that "I must eat, I'm starving!". I think this is pretty common.*

Not as extreme, but recently started to eat less for lunch(before: eating out, burger/sandwich + fries + drink, etc, now: homemade food, fruits) and already I don't get the afternoon snooze, and haven't needed coffee in a long time!

also haven't been to any fast food restaurants or had soda in a few months, hopefully I can break the one-year mark!

I have a fun story to share about how I created a soda-disgust in myself!

In college at one point, I was drinking soda almost every day. It was bad for me and I knew it, but couldn't help.

So one day, I froze a bottle of some soda, and then let it thaw, sipping it after. It was the nastiest, sweetest, most awful-headaching thing I've ever put in my mouth. Having discovered what soda 'really' was, I stopped drinking it. I drink it maybe once in a year at most, but that's about it.

When you say soda, what do you mean? Coca Cola?

coke, sprite, Fanta aka 'orange soda', whatever you want. The sweet corn syrup thaws first since it's got higher melting point than water, and it tastes nasty!
