I just wanted to say it took me about 5 days after the last 5 day fast to feel normal on food again. That last fast was the hardest one yet. Yesterday I began my current fast. I wanted to do an eat stop eat plan but honestly the effort to get into a fast makes me think I should stay in it for at least 36 hours.
I usually start a fast after dinner. That way the first 8 hours are while I sleep. I have no problem skipping breakfast and lunch. I start to really think about food around 3 pm or roughly at 18 hours i usually go into ketosis at about 20 hours so this is just my body starting to warn me that it is going to change something if i don't find some food. the next 8 hours is the toughest part of day 1. Next time I am going to start after breakfast and see if the cycle starts easier than after dinner. I may be able to sleep through the last 8 hours instead of the first 8 which would make day 1 simple. I would probably start off with a smaller entry meal also. I never eat as much for breakfast as i do for dinner.
I went to bed early to stop the need food thought process. I woke up early with no hunger pains and feeling thinner its always fun to see what your first day fast was worth in terms of weight reset. i won't call it loss because 20 hours of it you just burned what you had already eaten.
At 33 hours I have began the minor headaches section. Usually a glass or two of water is the cure. day two is usually the worst day of the fast. i just try to stay busy go out to a movie whatever it takes to think about something else. I know day 3 gets easier so it's just a push through it kind a day.
