Do any of you have the same ‘problem’?

I’ve just started this week after buying the book out of curiosity (where I come from no one ‘normal’ (not religious or a complete hippy) fasts).
I found it quite interesting to read and wanted to see what it did to my body or better said my mind/mood.
Normaly my life revolves around food, I don’t have a single minute without thinking about it, planning on what I will eat, when I’m aloud to eat it, how much, when I can get some more (without people noticing it), emptying kitchen cabinets when everybody’s out of the house and so on, you get the picture.

I found that when I just decide for myself that it’s a fasting day and that I’m not aloud to eat, between a little someting in the morning and someting in the evening, I don’t think about it as much, and I’m less frustrated about it.
I feel light, strong, in control, and like there’s a life outside of food and I’m less stressed, smile more and overal feel a lot better.
(Apparently I also radiate it since 3 people I don’t know said hello to me, and one man ran after me on the street to tell me he thought I looked nice:))

The thing is that I had 2 fasting day’s + today sort of fasting till 7pm, than ate a meal salad(couscous, goat cheese, letuce and tomatoes 720cal)
and felt quite bad afterwards, nausious, heavy, full.

Has any one of you had the same experience, and what do you do/eat to keep the light/breezy feeling?

Thanks for reading, hope anyone wants to share their thoughts on this..
