ok, so I guess I will tell my story and then ask for some advice.
I am doing keto and IF to reduce inflammation as I have degenerative disk disease and usually constant pain. I have had my lower back fused, carpal tunnel release X2, trigger release, and two new hips with continued pain.
I read that insulin causes inflammation.
I started with a 14 day green juice fast to get rid of toxins.
Then 10 water fast to get in to ketosis.
Then 23 hour a day fasting.
I do 3 grams of niacin followed by sweaty exercise and activated charcoal every other day.
I have lost 52 pounds in 90 days, and enjoy 3-4 pain free days a week. If I eat even 20 grams of carbs I get pain pain pain. If I could be stronger I could eliminate carbs all together and probably do very well, but I am weak.
My morning Ketones are 1.2 mm/mol
Ketones during the day will sometimes get up to 7.0 mm/mol before I eat.
2 hours after meal, I will be at .4 to 2.4 mm/mol ketones.
Thats me. any questions you think I can answer, go ahead.
My questions…
At 20 hours I always seem to convince myself to eat, and then I tell myself, tomorrow I am going all the way to 23 hours but it rarely happens…at the 20 hour mark, I usually have 20 GF crackers with hummus…I would like to skip that and wait until dinner.
My hunger does not start until 18-20 hours in to the fast. Any suggestions on beating the devil here?
And…hmmm…I can’t remember my other question.
Thanks
