Face blush

I love the fast five program, but the only problem I have is that my face blushes like a traffic light very soon after I have my first meal of the day, so I'm a bit embarrassed when eating in public... Does anyone else have the same problem?

I have not experienced this myself (yet), but it does make sense since digestion generates heat. This is also why a lot of people feel cold during the fast. (No digestion, no extra heat)

Perhaps breaking your fast with a very light meal will help prevent the face blush? And then go on to a bigger meal a bit later ...

I am just guessing here, so please correct me if someone knows the facts a bit better :)

Zindell, thank you for the reply. This was exactly my plan. I don't care if this happens on regular days, when I eat at home, but it can be embarrassing if I go out for dinner. So, I'll snack a little something a couple of hours before the main thing :)
