I felt fine yesterday on my first fast but I feel really light headed today – any ideas why? Had a good breakfast this morning. Did the all day fast yesterday and just had supper about eight. Thanks!

Hi Sleepydoc,

I’m just going on my 2nd week, and finishing my 3rd fast day. Yes! I absolutely felt lightheaded after my first fast. I had a mild headache as well that was quickly fixed with some full-sodium broth. There’s the issue of dehydration, especially when first starting, that can be fixed with either more water or more salt (depending on which your body is needing).

I can promise you that the 2nd fast goes much easier and, from my experience today, the 3rd is even easier still. It went like this:

1st fast – I was pretty sure I was going to die by 4pm.
2nd fast – Fairly easy but bad hunger pangs, to the point of distraction, around 6pm.
3rd fast – Didn’t even notice I hadn’t eaten until about 9pm…just in time for bed 🙂

Stick with it and hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for the advice! Going to try for second fast day this Thursday! Fingers crossed IT will go ok. I usually exercise Thursday mornings, any advice on this Jennybb? Xx

I’m afraid I don’t have any advice because I’m terrible at exercising >_> but good luck! Stop back and let us know how it goes!
