[quote=Anonymous]I am the OP, and it hadn't been a month when I posted that.

I have not tried many diets, other than trying to eat vegetarian or vegan and a couple Whole 30s (which I think less about being "diets" but just a way of eating/cleaning things up).

It's not dangerous at all. I don't really feel lightheaded, like I mentioned, except when my hormones get a little whacky. But I have always felt lightheaded around that time.

And I don't have any problem not eating when I make food for others. The only problem I have with that is stopping the near-automatic reflex to lick food off my fingers, or try a bit for taste/heat, etc.!

It really feels good after the first week. It's not for everyone, and I can understand how you might be critical of something that looks "extreme" if you've never tried it. I do like it, and it appeals to me as a long-term management tool. It also appeals to me as a health care provider - intermittent fasting has been researched fairly well and has shown a positive influence on important markers.

In any case, the old adage that your mileage may vary applies here. I was relating my experience for those who were curious. No need to hate on it. [/quote]
