I've been losing weight steadily for about 6 mths (16lbs or so, xmas set me back big time!) but decided I needed to get things moving a bit faster so have been fasting for a few weeks now. I fast Mon, Wed and Fri and this is fine, but today is a NFD I've had a few snacks I normally wouldn't and already at about 1500 cals for the day, TDEE says I can have over 2000cals.
The thing is I feel really crap - tired, really bloated and massive tummy, my back is aching, I'm short tempered and generally feel really uncomfortable. Quite frankly I prefer the empty tummy hunger pangs to this!!
I've eaten... 2 x scrambled egg, 2 finger kit kat, full fat yogurt, small packet of crisps, ww quiche and salad and a hand full of pasta from the kids dinner.
Is this due to the fasting and my body adjusting, has anyone else had something similar or just a crap coincidence??
Really worried what this means for my weight in on Saturday morning :(
