@leo Go for two what, well-deserved pizzas? Great time to get a CBC from the doc. BTW, you sound unaffected on TWiT (listening now). Just make sure to eat before the next Security Now.

@leo I did three days earlier this year. Once you get through the first day, it gets easier. Are you drinking bone broth during the fast?

@tjkrz No but a number of people suggested that. I'll try it next time. One day went well. I'll go for two next week! (Oddly my blood sugar was still 112 after 24 hours of fasting. Guess I'll have to fast harder.)

@leo no. Pick another day this week.

@Hardaway OK. Why?

@leo Depends how you feel this morning. Good luck.

I feel surprisingly good, @franklyray. The anticipation was scarier than the actual fast. I got a slight bit light-headed but never felt starving. More like I was seeing the world through cotton.

I noticed that I missed the _act_ of preparing and eating food more than the actual food itself.

It's been interesting. Of course I read up on it all before doing it. If I end up doing more than a few days I'll check with my doctor.

@leo I thought with the 5:2 diet the 2 days weren't supposed to be back-to-back?
