Three of the 15 patients mentioned weight gain as an undesirable side effect. I eat between 6 to 8 times a day, small snacks and small main meals. I cannot fast. If I make sure to eat carbs at least 3 times a day I don't experience any CPT symptoms. Six meals a day, but 10 pounds overweight.
Helps give more balanced energy levels throughout the day.
Without frequent feedings, muscle pain begins to develop after extended period of fasting. Especially key to make sure I have eaten before any form of exertion, otherwise muscles begin to fatigue very quickly. No adverse reactions. I am very careful not to overeat. The smallest morsel sometimes will get me over the hump to avoid an attack.
