Day 3 of Alternate Day Fasting Diet

It was good to be back to a fasting day today. I have a lot more energy than yesterday. Hunger comes and goes, but it seems a bit less than on Day 1. I did have a 140 calorie snack at lunch, after skipping breakfast. It was good at the moment, but I'm not sure that it was really worth it in the end. Within an hour I was pretty seriously hungry again. Perhaps it is better be able to have a larger evening meal. To stay under by 300 calorie goal, Dinner is pretty much limited to some carrots.

By dinner time I realized a serious mistake. Since I didn't eat breakfast, I forgot to take my prescription medication. That explains the way I felt today. I'm on a meta blocker for migraine prevention and heart arrhythmia. This medication also lowers your blood pressure. Since I forgot to take it, my heart was pounding and my blood pressure was high enough to make my head feel pressurized. After I took today's dose, I felt a lot better.
