[QUOTE="Finsky, post: 1117625, member: 269388"] I'm going to jump in as there seem to be good 'gap' in here for it at the moment... I've read all the pages and more on other threads about everybody's experiences of fasting.. thoughts and feelings, what ever scale it is done. Soaking up anything and everything...and it is ALL informative and most importantly...getting those 'feelings', they tell so much more as one can really relate to them... most supportive thing for those who are poking their toes into 'fasting waters' themselves. I can only encourage these diary-like entries to carry on! In reference for 'hunger'....there is hunger and then there is HUNGER...first one for me is actually quite enjoyable. It is then that my imagination gets going and I can 'see' my fat reserves turning into 'raisins'...wrinkling away:angelic:..and that picture in my head is what fuels my eagerness to carry on fasting. And then there is HUNGER..:mad:..that includes cravings, though I classify them under 'sub-category', still kind of 'manageable situation'. When HUNGER arrives, there is nothing in the world that will stop me for reaching to some sort of relief...it doesn't necessary mean naughty food, but something edible will have to enter into tummy or....:mask: 'ee-ee-ee' (that's the sound from Jaws film;)...or you can fill in special effect sound from any horror film...) These post is are so important..nothing will prepare for the flood of different sensations during fasting if one haven't done it before, particularly during longer fasting sessions. But to be able to read about them will help to understand what is going on and differentiate those that are 'to be expected' from 'that is not right'. And that's why I suspect medical profession is not keen for us to do it..I can't find much about those 'feelings and sensations' written down form in details. If 'they' can't read about it...they cannot teach and recommend it for their patients..too much time consuming hard work :rolleyes: Yes, I'm rambling now from one subject to other....I haven't had my morning caffeine quantity fully yet and here I am attempting to type something that looks and sounds even remotely intelligent:rolleyes: Ha! ...something is that hard to do even in 'clear' moment...(I blame the language barrier...;)...I sleep with Finnish brain and wake up slowly to gear up the English speaking fraction of grey matter....COFFFEEEEE!) Morning egg and chunk of cheese is calling, and today I start eating less again, NO MORE carbs in quantity! I must head out soon to do something physical that involves spade and wheelbarrow... have a good day everybody! [/QUOTE]
