[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1101350, member: 150927"] [FONT=Verdana]Second week at work - when Tuesday came around I didn't have the heart to fast a second day! But fasted on Thursday re the 36 hour cycle. There is something to be said for being busy during a no-food day. I wrote this email to Herr Svea: "If I ever get to meet Dr Fung and Professor Taylor, I will have a LOT to say about 'the unbearable lightness of fasting - and VLCDing". And he replied, "*giggle' - meaning he is sure I would! I wondered if my new immediate boss was going in to the big boss's office to talk about the new woman's ghastly mood that day... And the really mean things she was saying to the computer! (It probably wasn't that bad - but close!) (Enough for me to be afraid - very afraid!) That night was not pretty though. (To call it a bad mood is an understatement!) (Herr Svea says he will not comment.) Will give it a bash tomorrow (Monday). Taking two lots of stock this time. Lots more herb teas. Eating a good complement of healthy fats today in prep. Yesterday, out and about with my mother and daughter. My mother: "Your mood improved incredibly after we had lunch." And that not even a fasting day. Oh dear. The same old, same old. It really just must be VERY ingrained in me, and maybe just not to do with leptin and insulin levels and so on, but a very deep rooted brain-body connection between me and the fed state! (Fancy way of saying - I can get very grumpy when hungry.) (My trigylcerides are at a good healthy level, and c reactive protein low - good health indicators for low or no inflammation and low levels of fatty acids in the blood in the morning though.) (My piece of evidence that it is just part of my metabolism/personality. Drat it.)[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]So here is my today's quote from Dr Fung ( of who I am a huge fan of course!) - he isn't saying fasting is EASY, he is just saying it isn't as hard as most people believe.
