Hmmmm
I've been fasting - with no problem achieving the full 19 hrs from the get-go - since 25 Oct and am a much happier, more energised bunny. Yup. Have lost about 5 lbs the first 10 days so that's how much water weight (I rekon) I was carrying around. The next bit of weight to go has been counted in ounces but I'm happy doing it this way. Suits my lifestyle.
BUT
the last couple of nights I have been snoozing; not really sleeping. And I think it might be the vitamins I take - all of which insist to be taken with food. Glucosamine & Omega 3 (3 of) and a Day-Night Nutrition supplement which has borage & echium oil is taken mainly when I break my fast at @ 530pm. Interesting note you made, Heather, about vit C and I'll read the fine print on my supplements.
SO
anyone figured out if taking vitamins during the fast time - with milk say - has a deleterious effect?
My main plan is to lose 10 lbs and then treat myself to a coffee with milk on a Sunday morning, taking vits then.
I'll advise if that works.

Magnesium seems to be key for people I know. If they get enough, they sleep. When they don't take it, they get insomnia.
B vitamins though, keep me awake! I do NOT take them in the evening.
Also, starches and sugars put me to sleep. Proteins, and MCT, wake me up.
What I did for supplements though, is put the cal/mag and Vit C in the evening pocket. Vit C is an anti-histamine, and those always tend to cause sleepiness. The B vitamins I put in the morning pocket.
Some foods, notably the histamine foods, cause wakefulness. Fish sauce is a big one ... really high in histamines. For some people this will cause jitters even.

I prefer to eat later in the day, usually 5 pm at the earliest. I take vitamin supplements with my meal. I believe it is important to take vitamins with food, as the body is designed for whole food - not pills; so the supplements need to combine with food for balance.I have trouble falling asleep sometimes. I was reading that taking supplements late in the day or evening can keep you awake.I tried switching my meal to breakfast, but then I end up eating all day long.Anyone here take supplements, and do you notice this?I don't have sleep problems every day, it's off and on, so maybe it's not the supplements.Ha, as I google this more, I see that there is quite a bit of disagreement on when to take supplements and whether it helps or hinders sleep.- T
