[QUOTE="Hoping4Cure, post: 1440583, member: 393050"] The reporter's headaches were probably due to switching into ketosis (although I suspect FMD is on the low end for keto-friendly fat content levels), which is normal and would happen when anyone on a typical western carb-fueled diet replaces it with a fat-based one, of any calorie level. There are ways around this, but over time your body becomes keto-adapted and headaches stop. I also don't really see the point of her wondering about the weight loss, that's not the primary purpose of IF / FMD. Of course if it helps promote lean muscle mass that's handy too, but for most people, I highly doubt that water fasting would be "easier to swallow", so to speak. I just spoke FMD this evening at a pub with a friend of mine and his wife, and even the idea of only eating two avocados a day for an entire work-week made her recoil in horror. It really sounds a lot worse than it is, until you've tried it. And especially for people who are unaware of ketogenic diets. People think they will collapse without all that sugar in their system but this is merely brainwashing from the breakfast cereal industry. You definitely feel more full on this diet, or anything with high fat content. Looking forward to trying Prolon one day. Maybe it is indeed harder to get by on than two avocados a day. [/QUOTE]
