I'm doing a little experiment today, and eating only when my stomach is (I would presume it's the case) completely empty, twisting and turning and making very loud noises (I hope I don't sound too sadistic). I must say it is working well so far. To give an idea: woke up at 7am; two glasses of water at 7:30; 1 small peach at 8am; 1 medium pear at 9am; 4 juiced (well, can't take them raw just yet - too hard to chew for me) celery stalks at 11am; 1 large tomato at 1pm. That's it for now. Feel rather weak (but I have been for quite some time now; in fact, I feel *relatively* stronger now), but There is no dicomfort in my stomach, and my hunger control center is not off-balance. In fact, I feel neither full, nor hungry! A feeling I have not had in a very long time. Am I taking the instincto path without knowing it here?
