I know you are speaking to Lynn, but I wonder if this is for me, too?
I had been using lemon juice every morning (before I was Fast5ing), then I
switched to apple cider vinegar, then this week, switched to natural ACV.
But I have been crashing mid-morning - feeling sleepy. I don't notice it if
I am active but since we home school, I am generally reading out loud at
that time and that is when it hits me.
This is my first week back to Fast5ing since the first of the year.
Noticed the last two days (today included) that I have not felt sleepy
mid-morning...
Could it be a change is taking place??

Vinegar does in fact affect blood sugar. Weirdly so, since it doesn't
actually contain much, if any, sugar. Apparently acids are some kind
of hormonal signal to the body, and taking some before a meal lowers
the blood sugar "spike" after the meal. And I know it makes me less
hungry if I drink lemon juice when I'm fasting. But I don't get a crash
after. Of course, I have plenty of stored glycogen, I imagine.
But probably you have stored glycogen too, or the vinegar
couldn't trigger it's release? Maybe your body isn't good
at releasing stored glycogen? Sometimes doing exercise
will help with that ... lifting weights, for instance, can raise
your blood sugar temporarily! Caffeine does that too, IIRC.
