I'm doing the larger dose again, after trying the smaller dose for 4-5 days. Frankly, it doesn't seem to make much difference. Maybe my hunger is a little less. The last couple of days have been a lot better really. My doctor believed the larger dose would help with the hunger. Maybe he was right? Or perhaps I'm just adjusting. I am still skipping a day too.

I always had issues trying to IF too. I just got too wildly hungry to do it.

Anyway, I'm finding ways of coping. Drinking ice tea seems to help immensely. I think it numbs my gut.
