Fasting isn’t a mood killer, it actually has the opposite effect. IF gives me an energy boost and associated euphoria.

While I don't experience any euphoria, I agree that intermittent fasting doesn't affect my mood negatively. After the first few weeks, you don't even think about it anymore. And being able to go out, eat a normal meal at a restaurant without worrying about math, or 'cheating on a diet', is pretty positive mentally when you can still fit into a size 6 dress.
What is your IF schedule like? Can you expand on the euphoria?
When I do 24 hr fasts (going from dinner to dinner), which is not that often, in the early afternoon until dinner time I get a big energy boost and very enhanced mood. That first time, I thought that it felt like I was high on something.
