I am on Phase III and I have worked out twice today, including 12 muscle ups, pull ups, 4 miler run w/7:30+ minute pace, and dips...its 2200 and I am not craving food...and I AM STILL FULL OF ENERGY!!! Is this bad?!?!?!
In Phase II, I couldn't stop thinking about food, now I cant think of food. I cooked a pot full of cubed steaks (my favorite) and I don't even want to eat it; I took a bite and I feel dizzy. Please Matt, advice me on this because I know I need some calorie intake...

Hey Ranger
Perhaps your body was still too hyped up from the exercise? Or maybe you're coming down with a bug or something? Your appetite was probably suppressed from the exercise, but maybe the dizziness was a result of not eating?
I'd suggest (not an expert, so feel free to ignore me!!) trying to at leaast get a little bit of food down, otherwise you might wake up in the night ravenous or by tomorrow feel quite lightheaded and weak. As a fitness instructor, you'll know the importance of food.
However, I guess a fast every now and then won't hurt. Just keep an eye on it.

I think the adrenaline rush from it all has masked your appetite. The weak feeling was probably hunger though you didn't recognise it. You have to make yourself have at least a bit to eat......even if it's just grazing to keep your energy up.

even if you dont feel hungry, try eating a little something like a hardboiled egg. My husband gets like this, every night he comes home from work and isnt hungry, yet I know it has been atleast 5 hours since he has eaten and I usually give him a little something to eat, once he takes a bite he remembers how hungry he really is.

Sorry, I have not thank you all for helping/responding to my request; been busy doing more research..(smiling). When I posted that comment, I ate about half size Chinese bowl of food, and it didn't feel well, so I pounded 2 glasses of water and went to bed at 0200 in the morning, just to be awaken at 0430 for a 3 mile run, and I was still energetic for the run. We ran it around 00:06:45 minute to a 00:07: 30 minute pace, which took me by surprise because I cannot keep up a 6 minute pace in two miles, especially running trails with hilly terrains. I was nervous because I had the feeling that I might pass out anytime soon without knowing it. After the run, I went to a grocery store and bought a coconut and ate it, (darn Hawaiians, coconuts seem to be the fix to everything, *smiling*) for breakfast, just to be safe so I don't pass out in class.
I went to class, sat through a boring 4 hour class without any sense of tiredness. When lunch break came around and went to the gym to see how I can do in the pool....and, wallah! I COULD NOT even swim one lap; basically drowning. I was driven back to class by a friend from the gym, and I was in bed from 4PM till 0500 the next day. I am officially off the diet as we speak, but I have noticed the amount of improvement on my physical workouts since last week. I swam 3000meters yesterday with fins in a pool under 90 minutes, 00:83:23. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DIET, but please be careful because some side effects are crazy.
Thank you all my fellow cave siblings for the words of knowledge. I have lost 8lbs of fat, and my wife doesn't like it...lol She said that I make her look fat. Love you guys, and keep it real.
RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!!!

Sounds like that's your answer then - you've GOT to eat after training, whether you think you need it or not. For those of us who are sedentary, an intermittent fast is fine. For those working out hard every single day, you have to replace the nutrients, calories and fat in a good way.
Hope you jump back on the diet wagon soon.

Eating after working out is more than a matter of just replenishing macronutrients, it's also necessary for hormonal balance. Working out puts the body under stress, which causes a rise in cortisol. This causes the body to go into a catabolic state, breaking down muscle tissue. The body's natural counter to cortisol is insulin (this is why people tend to eat when stressed). Eating immediately after a workout will bring the body into an anabolic state, without the unwanted affects of a normal spike in insulin levels.
Consider it the perfect time to indulge your sweet tooth.
