Thanks for the offer Bella. Just thought I’d let you know I bought the 1st book. I read a web article by the author and it impressed me enough to buy her book.
Still would like to hear what your peers think of the 2nd book. I may go ahead and purchase that one depending on what they say.
@Compdude sorry for the late response…I’ve been absent. I did manage to reach out to a few ppl in my running group and there was nothing solid. And after taking a second look at your selections, I don’t think that I, personally, wouldn’t consider purchasing the second book. It seems somewhat “generic” in the sense that it takes a blanket approach (“Every Active Person”) to nutrition, whereas the book written by Eberle, is more focused on what you are interested in. Also, I’d like to throw it out there that I dabbled into running on days 6 & 7 to test the waters, so to speak. I felt great and my energy did not lack, which was really surprising to me. So now, I am researching and experimenting with fat adaptation & endurance running. I’ll keep an update in my journal, which will be more sparse, since I have new time restrictions. Sorry, I couldn’t be of more help.
Side note: Suzanne Eberle is a known star in the running community. I’ve read articles about her over the years and so have my peers 
Nice to get confirmation on my reason for choosing Eberle’s book. The detail in the web article I read by Eberle was my primary reason for choosing her over the other author, even though Eberle’s book was a few more “shekels” expensive.
Day 10 check in:
Busy life & Schedule. I did run this morning and I feel way lighter on my feet. I have decided to not weigh myself until I have completed this indefinite fast. I dropped a pant size; I see more definition in my face; I can see my collarbone and the best part is that my chest size is shrinking, which equates to less upper back pain!! This fast experience was not what I expected and that may have to do with my diet and training prior to fasting. I did not get any headaches, dizziness or heartburn. The only REAL struggle that I had was that 1 hour during dinner time on day 2. I do have highs and lows in energy and I have been taking naps regularly, which I NEVER do. I used to sleep 5-6 hours/night and now I am at 7 hours plus the 30-60 min naps. I will check in again on day 15 or sooner if I choose to end the fast. So, for now, Peace Out 
It is Day 15.
I am taking this day by day now. I’m not sure how I mentally feel about prolonging this fast. I have been frustrated with my lack of motivation to get sh!t done. I am not used to sleeping this much and with a full plate, I don’t feel productive. I have a lot of deadlines coming up along with planning and hosting a grad party, 4th of July gathering and an extended family coastal trip arranged for my senior grad. On top of that, I had a little scare this past weekend. I started seeing flashing geometric shapes and had large blind spots in both of my eyes for about an hour, followed by massive sinus pain and a ridiculous headache surrounding my eyes and sinus area. I called the nurse advice team for my hospital and was told to go in for a check-up because it could be serious. I scheduled a remote appointment, but if I need to go in for any tests or see my dr. face to face, well, that’s just not going to happen. I feel fine. I cut back on misc. activities and am trying to focus on these next couple of weeks.
So, long story short, fasting is no longer a priority. However, I really don’t have time to think about the refeeding process, so I may continue for the convenience of it all. I’ll check in again next week or if anything changes. Adios!
Glad to hear you are getting things checked out.
My opinion is that you are over stressing yourself. From my list of the top 7 reasons people fail to reach their fasting goal is stress, which in its various forms comprise #4 to #6 on my list.
Take care of yourself and get healthy. You can always pick up on fasting at a late date when you don’t have so much stress going on in your life.
Yes, I understand. And I had 3 retina tears, and then a retinal detachment, 7 years ago. It is frightening, but it does not sound like that is what you have, because the symptoms progress. It started with those lights, and forms for me, too, but then got worse and worse. The first time it happened I was freaked. Take good care of yourself, and I look for to reading your next update. Bye for now.
