Sounds like Ramadan. Especially the "obsessing over food" part. Some of us actually end up fatter after the month of 16 hour fasts.

Having spent time with Muslim friends around Ramadan, I have no doubt that this is due to OVEREATING after sunset and before sunrise. I've seen people pack 3000 calories into 2 meals when they should be getting 1500-2000, especially with the reduced activity levels due to lower energy.

Fasting doesn't give you the ability to break rules of biology.

If you are "obsessing over food" during Ramadan you are doing it wrong.
