[quote=Anonymous]Wow ... Thanks for the update!  You are doing fabulous and your fast days sound nice and healthy.  Your experience mirrors my own almost exactly.  Those shakes are nasty ... I switched to real food promptly.
 
Late afternoon hunger or dizziness (which is very rare after the first week) can be addressed by a warm cup of chicken broth or miso broth ... The warm liquid is soothing and filling and the salt wards off dizziness and headache.

I have eaten this way for about three months now and am ready for maintenance, which is a bit tricky because I love how I feel eating this way but want to do it without losing any more weight.  I don't like the idea of upping fast day calories as I think the health benefits go away if there isn't a big difference between the fast and feed cycles.  So I am upping the feed day calories but doing so by increasing only healthy food ... Not just adding back junk.    An online nutrition program like www.cronometer.com is really helpful although also sort of addictive to a data wonk like me.

Wishing you continued success and great health![/quote]
