I fast about once a week or once every two weeks.

>A) sudden extreme cravings before I start at 5pm

Have you tried apple cider vinegar? That seems to work for me.

>B) a sore throat starting at around 9-10pm. I have no clue why it happens.

I don't get that specifically, but I do get lowered body temperature. Could sore throat be a symptom of that? Have you tried hot water, perhaps with lemon and/or tea?

No comment on effectiveness, but for anyone who is going to do this, make sure to dilute the vinegar with some water.

1 tsp apple cider vinegar mixed in a full glass of water.

It also helps to drink with a straw to avoid residual acid on the teeth (although the water already diluted it enough).

Oh jeez, woopsie. Yeah, forgetting to do that would certainly cause a bit of sore throat. Or 3rd degree burns.

I get the lower body temperature, too. How do you deal with it?
