That is interesting that you don't eat until dinner. Do you consume any calories at all? I think the low blood sugar is what causes the effect that I enjoy. I don't fast that much, because often I don't have the willpower and feel so crummy.

It varies. Sometimes I eat during the day but often it is just coffee in the morning and nothing till dinner. Like I said I have adapted to it so I don't think my blood sugar gets that low. It is not physically healthy. I had a phd biology teacher explain in great detail the chemistry of metabolism and storing and burning fat. The best way is small portions of healthy food throughout the day.

I think some people get a high from low blood sugar but usually irritable and grumpy. Lots of religious people fast for three or five days and have spiritual experiences. Who am I to say whether they are real or just chemistry. I have had spiritual experiences (not from fasting) so I don't judge others experience.
