Re: how often can you do the diet?

I had planned to do the fast every four months this year. I had it marked in my calendar.

but I find it difficult to work when I'm on the fast. How do people deal with all the time it takes to prepare the lemonade - it just seems that there are many little time-consuming things - and being surrounded by food, and being very active all day and not having a lot of time to be drinking/peeing all day. I also started wondering if frequent fasting might not have a deleterious consequence of slowing my metabolism and sapping brain chemicals like beta-endorphins.

How do you people deal with explaining at work, to your friends, etc. that you are fasting? I'm thinking of doing it again, but I just quit my job, and have some time. I've just really found that I do feel pretty sapped of energy while fasting.
