    Default Weekly Water Fast

    I've begun fasting once a week on my day off, and I always love the way I feel the next day, but at about 6pm I start getting really crabby. Any advice?

    Also, I get quite dizzy for a few moments, but it passes.

    Separately, I'll get a tingling sensation in one or both of my arms, but then it will subside.

    **Added later** I also seem to have trouble breathing for short periods of time. Almost like asthma, but not as severe. It does tend to subside after a few minutes as well.

    **Added later** In the last hour of my fast (hour 36) I threw up a yellow liquid that tasted the way nail polish smells.

    Does any of this set off a red flag for anyone? I've done a good amount of research on fasting, but additional help is always welcome.
