Wow, I was surprised to discover that I felt much worse today than yesterday, and that's no April Fools joke either. I felt a bit sick after my admittedly large breakfast this morning. The rest of the day I tended to be a bit dizzy and fuzzy. Whereas my energy felt limitless yesterday, I was sluggish today.
For the most part my eating habits were normal today. I may have taken in 10% more calories than normal, but I certainly felt no desire to stuff myself, so I didn't.
Oh yes, one other surprise happened. I thought I would sleep really well last night with an empty stomach. Sometimes a big meal with give me crazy dreams, so I figured no meal would be great. Instead I had some really weird dreams and woke up feeling exhausted.
I've noticed another big difference between today's feasting and yesterday's fasting was body temperature. I was cold yesterday even in a warm room. Today I feel overheated. Not surprising, I guess.
If I can't continue this diet I don't think it will be discomfort or hunger. Rather, it will just be weirdness of feeling so different from one day to the next. I'm hoping that after several weeks all of these differences will either lessen or become "normal." The fixation that the diet has produced on how I'm feeling is going to get annoying fast if it doesn't go away.
As I end the feast day, I'm really looking forward to the fast day and hope that this one will energize me the way the last one did.
