do you feel dizzy?

Do you feel dizzy or anything after a fast of ,24hrs? Like yesterday i did my first 30 hrs fast and had dinner today when i woke up i had an upset stomach and I’m dizzy and not able to stand. I had rice and pulse porridge with carrots and cucumber and steamed fish for dinner which counted some 300 calories in total. And then before bed i had a cup of hot milk tea with one of my favourite cookie (100 cal total with the tea) Am i doing anything wrong? And I’m extremely hungry today and it’s only 10am

Answer

I’ve also been struggling with dizzy spells while fasting. It could be low blood sugar, electrolyte imbalance, or dehydration. I think mine is blood sugar related, because I do take electrolytes. I fast for 38-42 hours 3 days a week. If I’m feeling dizzy and water/electrolytes hasn’t solved the issue, I will eat a small portion of food. That usually solves it. I’ve found that listening to your body is just as important as fasting, so don’t be afraid to eat more during your eating window if your body is asking for more!
