Dr. Fung's Response:
"You may need to change strategies slightly, as your metabolism may be slowing significantly. This used to happen to me too. I added back some days of eating lots of high fat foods (butter, cream, nuts, avocado) to give my body some calories to burn. The weight loss was not as effective, but I felt better."

Jeanie,
Thanks for this info. I was trying to do IF yesterday and found myself feezing. I just assumed my office was cold, but no one else seemed that cold. I had some pork rinds as that was the only thing available. I warmed right up! Back when I was IF'ing more frequently, I was cold at work all the time. Again I thought it was the office, but maybe it was really just me! I will pay more attention now.
