Something you said about, once you start eating, it's hard to stop really resonated with me. I've read the Fast 5 and done some other research and am convinced it won't stunt my metabolism. (I've previously had success with Body for Life, but find I can't eat constantly any more.) This is Day 5 for me and it's definitely getting easier (Days 1 and 2 were really hard after about 2pm - I felt woozy and spacey both before and after breaking my fast - also work was slow, so I kept watching the clock, waiting for 5pm :-). Days 3 and 4 were easy (I noticed hunger at around 1pm, but it passed) and I felt completely energized and strong on my bike ride home from work. So, thank you! And congrats on your passenger.

As long as I stay properly hydrated I don't experience any ill effects. (Drinking enough water throughout the day is actually kind of an issue for me. I've always had water as an accompaniment to a meal. Now that I'm only eating once a day, I find I fall short of the minimum H20 requirements.)

Thanks for letting us in on your journey! Question about IF: I know you say you have day-long energy but how does this affect your workout regime? I know that when I haven't eaten breakfast and do cardio before lunch I can get lightheaded and generally don't feel well. I can't imagine working out on a daily basis on an empty stomach.
