February 21, 201214 yr Interesting article. I don't think that I would have come to that conclusion. Usually they say you have to feed the soul and feed the blood, but apparently not the brain. hmmm I know in my case if I don't get enough water or nutrition, I get headaches. So I couldn't fast for too long. But I have trained my body and brain to only need 1500 calories a day now. That has made all the difference in the world.
February 21, 201214 yr Author Active Members I did 800 cals a day for the majority of my weight loss, occasionally would feel slightly faint upon standing but no other side effects. Caffeine and some food (this fasting didn't seem too strict, and a little something to kick the furnace on then leave it only existing fat to burn is better than the furnace getting covered with cobwebs) kept me from getting headaches. I'm pretty much plateaued now but would like to lose at least another 10 pounds, 30 would be even better, so I'm kinda thinking about other things to try.
