I tried fast 5 a year ago, and couldn't do it. I would get crazy hungry,
drink a bunch of water to reduce the hunger, then spend the rest of the
day peeing clear and having headaches. I think I was washing out my
electrolytes with all that water.
Two weeks ago I tried again. I drink a lot less water to stave off my
hunger. This time my problem is extreme weakness, which is solved when I
eat. I don't have this problem everyday, but I do some days. I'm
perplexed, because I eat a paleo diet, so it's not too many carbs. I eat
a lot of fat and protein and low sugar/ starch veggies. I feel like I'm
eating heartily and very well...
Perhaps my body needs more time to get used to the fasting? Or maybe
it's just not good for everyone?
I suppose it's hard to know what is going on, without knowing *exactly*
what I eat, and how my health is.
I can give one example: Sunday my window was 3p to 8p. I ate a quiche
with salmon, veg soup made with homemade gelatinous broth, nuts, crab
meat, dates.
Monday, the hunger was astronomical. I opened my window at 3p with 1½
cups crab meat. I felt soooo tired. I wanted to wait to eat dinner with
my friend for the rest of my food. By 6p I was shaking and felt I was
going to faint. I finally ate at 645p and felt great after that.
I don't want to spend my days starving and tired... this happens more
often than not. Today I'm feeling hungry and energy is getting low.
Any ideas?
