[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1747727, member: 459333"] No, no salt. Probably would have been a good idea since I was also sweating a fair bit going up the hills! I'll bear that in mind next time. The lightheadedness came and went and wasn't too bad overall, I don't think it was worse than the first time. It didn't get worse throughout the day. This morning, though hungry, I have to say I felt as though I could carry on fasting. The hunger levels and lightheadedness were no greater than the various 'waves' yesterday. I did think it would be a good idea to have a salty breakfast though, and build up to longer fasts later if need be. This fast was actually unplanned. I'd intended to just do a ton of walking, not eat a lot, and then fast the next day to give my body a long period where it could slowly regulate bs levels without exercise or food getting in the way. But when I woke up it was bucketing it down, so I almost delayed the plan. Then I got annoyed and decided to carry on regardless and get it all done ASAP, even if it means spending all morning getting soaked and not getting any nice views on the hills. I made sure I finished walking by early afternoon, so my body would have a chance to settle down without either food or exercise before I went to bed. The sense of control is good after having done it, both in terms of making myself do something regardless of foul weather, and in stopping myself from doing something in spite of hunger :) [/QUOTE]
