Fast800 Day 1: feeling dizzy

[HighlandPeach]

Hi - I started Fast800 today and feel dreadful. I’m using the cookbook and have had the first meal for lunch. I feel so sick and dizzy with a bad headache.

Any advice please?

I don’t know about fast800
But 3 years ago I started intermittent fasting 11-6 and calorie counted (1200 cals allowance)and lost a ton of weight. I was maintaining my weight for few months until I got pregnant. Easy peasy.
I’ve started again now and I’m on day 3 and it’s working really well.

Seems strange that you are dizzy after only one meal....are you sure the 2 are related? do you normally eat lots more?

I guess i meant it is weird that you are dizzy on day 1 and it could be coincidental.

Have you had enough to drink? When fasting I find I need to make a more conscience effort to drink as obviously we get fluid from our food normally but also I would always a glass of water with a meal or to wash down a snack.

Thanks all. I’m on day 4 and feeling much better. I think the dizziness was a combination of going cold turkey on sugar and caffeine and also, not drinking enough water. Seem to have found a good routine now 😊
