Hi Karen,
This eating lifestyle amazes me too. I have gone on fasts before because I knew it was healthy but the second and third day were so terrible.... so weak I was barely productive and made me feel pretty low... I love to be busy. But with this programme the fasting benefits kick in without the lousy side-effects. 19 hours seems so perfect somehow. I do wilt a little before due to eat but I just drink a herbal tea and it helps psychologically and I am pretty sure my body is getting conditioned. WIth low blood sugar having dominated my days... always having to snack... it was a pain. I would take boiled eggs if going to be out a while. That is what I meant by eat quickly... just eat an egg or protein bar when symptoms came. Always protein...never sugar. Now I am just stretching my body towards longer and longer but with care and it is working! The continual snacking might actually not be the best way to handle this! Condition your body to feed off ketones and no insulin triggering all the time ... but this takes many hours after eating. I notice that I need a nap after eating... about an hour later... but am working at home so is OK... and then I feel fabulous. My body is obviously still adjusting to kicking over into ketone use or something... not sure but is how I see it. : )
