Thanks! Have you done much of this? I tried it for one 16 hour period after hearing about it on NPR and ended up with a splitting headache. Maybe due to low blood sugar or something?

I haven't had much of a problem with them. I usually start in the evening and eat a late lunch, so maybe 12-15 hours. I find that if I plan it in advance I'm often not even very hungry. It's as if my body knows it will be getting food at dinner so it leaves me alone
