DEAR HARRIETTE: I’ve been fasting for years – sometimes for my faith, sometimes for my health – and overall, it’s been a meaningful practice for me. The structure I follow is usually water or tea throughout the day, then one meal after 6 p.m. The challenge is, I’ve started to notice that when I go long stretches without food, my mood can shift. I can become irritable or snappy sometimes. I know people joke about being “hangry,” but it feels real in my case.
Dear Doctors: I read about a study that says it’s possible for someone who eats meat to have a gut that’s as healthy as someone who is vegan. I know your gut microbiome is an important part of good health, but I’m just not cut out to be a vegan. I’d like to know more about that research.
