Yeah...I don't think I'll be doing this when I head over to South Korea. I can get pretty cranky, and sometimes even more tired, if I don't eat when I'm hungry. Plus I already have metabolism issues...why make them worse?

I also don't agree with not eating. Something you can do though, is to adjust your meals about 1-2 days before you travel. So, when its time for breakfast in your country of destination, eat breakfast as well, and so on. It kind of forces you into the other country's time. I usually do this when I travel to Singapore. Also, I try to sleep the entire flight.

I've never really had any problems.

saw this and immediately thought ILL TAKE THE LAG

I think I'll take the napping and tiredness that comes with jet lag, because I am a royal biotch when I don't eat. My traveling companions would NOT be happy.

I take this brilliant homeoptahic product called NO JET LAG which helps me immensely especiallywhen i travel to asia or australia. i get it at whole foods.

Yea, a girls gotta eat. Plus the study was done on mice, which aren't, you know, people.

Hmmm, travel stress+fasting+being notoriously cranky when hungry=me being a total jerk. I don't think I'll try this method any time soon.

So I think you will be so focused on being hungry you will forget you have jet lag?

Every time I travel I can't eat because i get air sickness and it really isn't that bad. I neve reat on the plane and just sleep the whole entire time. And I just realized I'm never jet lagged when I get there. I think theres a lot of truth to this study.

I couldn't do that either, if my blood sugar is off especially from not eat within a certain amount of time you do not want to anywhere near me. Of that is only part of it...

There was only one time I was actually jet lagged and that was flying from Chicago to California. I remember I ate lunch on the plane and was sooo jet lagged when I arrived that I passed out as soon as I got to the hotel. Every other flight to California after that I NEVER had jet lag again and would only have a drink during the flight. So I think there's some truth to this as well.

I have to eat. If I don't, I get seriously hot headed and will probably lash out on the people around me. That would not make a great flight.

I've got to eat ... even if it's at weird hours of the day/night. Everytime I go back to Seattle from London, I rummage around the house for food at 3 a.m. for about a week!

I would rather eat

I'm fine with not eating - you're just sitting there anyway. But I'm still steamed about not being able to bring my own water on the pllane.

NOTHING helps like drinking a crazy amount of water.

It works for my boyfriend & me (so long as we keep well hydrated), but not for my sister--I have no idea why it works, though. Maybe it depends on how you feel on a normal, non-flying but low-activity day if you have to skip a meal?

yeahhhh i dont so much agree with this in the first place. I travel alot and over long distances. I live in europe and go back home to the US a few times a year. When im travelling, I'm usually to anxious to eat anyway. I'm still jet lagged for like 1.5 weeks regaredless of my food intake. and besides you dont want hunger to be an issue when you're travelling. Imagine if you lost your passport or missed a connecting flight cuz you were so out of it! NOT IT!

The only time I had jet lag was when I didn't sleep on the plane. Any other time, I eat and sleep while I'm on the plane or even before while I'm waiting to board. I say just take a snoozy.
