Agreed. I fast before working out in the morning, and usually break the fast by noon. On weekends I'll often eat breakfast and then fast the rest of the day.

I'm a woman, and on birth control, so fasting doesn't mess with my hormones so much, but I read that women tend to respond to fasting with heightened color vision and vivid sensorial experiences, which I can anecdotally confirm.

That said, I can only practice intermittent fasting for one to two days at a time before it starts negatively affecting my workouts and attention span.
