Yesterday I ate: one bite of cheeseburger, one bite of jack cheese, one brussel sprout, a bit of chicken skin, a glug of soy milk in my coffee, a cup of chicken broth, and two non-alcoholic lite beers. Feeling pretty good! Right now I'm having a cup of coffee.

No hallucinations yet, but still feeling floaty. No peaks of joy or bursts of energy either. No crying. I am not irritable or hangry.

Apparently some lower back pain is common when fasting. I am having a touch of that. No enough to hurt, but enough to notice.

A friend asked me if I was doing this to lose weight. The answer is no. I'm a little heavier than the weight I feel best at, but I'm not overweight. Also, I don't think I can do this long enough to lose weight. Maybe 5 pounds max?

I am constantly caffeinated. Prior to fasting, I was doing a cup or two of coffee a day. Now I'm doing three cups, some tea, a diet soda here and there. Perhaps relatedly, I am sleeping less. I tried to get eight hours last night, but I popped up a few times in the night and then naturally woke up after six hours. I feel well-rested, but still.
