Today is day two of my four weeks of Opti fast, and I feel like CRAP I have just about all the symptoms of fasting, im light-headed, dizzy, and I got a headache. Im tired as all get out and feel sick from the dizziness, I hope this doesn't last the whole four weeks. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Wow four weeks that is a long time, all I can say is I did a full liquid for two weeks and after the third day it does get easier, good luck and it will be over before you know it!

Totally passes! Think of it as detox, you are probably withdrawing from caffeine/sugar ect. By day three your body starts producing keytones (ketosis) give it time, stay strong!! (I did 4weeks also!)

I would avoid the gym and focus more on things like yoga for the time being (your poor body is so upset and confused) I totally increased my sleep during the optifasting, granted you will look back on these days with fondness immediately post surgery lol I would take an Optifast shake over a Protein shake any day now!!

I'm on three weeks of liquids (post op) and then three weeks puree. I'm not doing any exercise til the six weeks is over. That way I'll be healed from surgery too. I would cool it on the exercise.

So today is day seven and it has gotten better, the dizziness is prettt much gone, and the headaches have calmed down a bit.

glad you're feeling better!
