CONGRATULATIONS, Glassneck:
Did You finish up the 3 days of apples with a lot of EVOliveOil? I had so much last half of day 3 that I gagged and could hardly look at the stuff for a couple of months...
It usually takes me 4 days fasting to take down a flare, but any amount of fasting is good. As I state in my introduction to Dr. Garten's chapter, it is difficult to withdraw from food and caffeine at the same time.
Because I have completed so many fasts (I suppose), I never get that headache; used to start second half of day one, all of day two and then disappear totally. Could have been caffeine withdrawals but I never drank that much of it (not a coffee drinker--just diet Coke).
Again, CONGRATULATIONS on being in that uncomfortable state that most people avoid--
HEALTH,
John
