That’s true, I never thought of that!

On a side note, just curious, do you find that your allergies are worse due to you now consuming more plant material (green beans, etc)?

I wish I could tie it to something, but it just seems like the older I get the worse they are. I was hoping Keto and fasting would help. Maybe it will given enough time.

@rustyk61 starting to feel really hungry now so may well end up breaking fast at 72 hours… but I’ll see

About 43 hours in. Just had some water so feeling hungry now but it will pass. Plus working in a donut shop it’s not like there’s anything here I would/could eat lol.

On day 5 of my fast. Been taking it one day at a time, just to see how my body feels. I’m starting to have mild food cravings today. I know I could get through it without eating anything. But since this is my first fast should I break it now so that I don’t mentally dread the next fast?

Broke fast @ 72 hours as I had a headache come on and was feeling crazy hungry.

Ugh, sorry you experience this too but glad I’m not alone. Do I recall correctly that @rustyk61 has this issue too? Has anyone found anything that helps? Leave the house? Lol

Yes I have that same problem. I just deal with it until it’s unbearable.

Hi all! First fast in 6 weeks, since eliminating all the foods that calendar back on my MRT food intolerance test. I was hoping that fasting would be better once I cut all that stuff out (avocado, egg, butter, cream, beef, lettuce, etc). I felt good yesterday but definitely lower energy. This morning (36 hours fasted) I’ve got that heavy legs feeling again, like I used to when I wasn’t doing a lot of fasting. I’m going to put a tsp of salt in some water and see if that helps. I’ll break around 37/38 hours with some pork belly.
I don’t know why fasting is so tough on my body - I generally feel lethargic and my legs always feel SO heavy. I was hoping it was the food intolerances but doesn’t seem to be that.

Feeling really lethargic since braking my fast. Not had this before. Headache is gone though! Now back to my IF schedule for a few days

if you binge on all keto foods, and not craving any carbs or really anything the next day do you think no damage done to ketosis? I am definitely not getting on scale. ALso if binge on keto foods, is a fast as necessary ? So far at 19hr. afraid to go 24 as the binge yesterday occured from being starved from weeks of 16 hour fasts.

LOL. Thanks. Most days it’s actually pretty easy. I just keep in mind how hard I’ve worked to get 50 pounds off. The only thing is I feel rather hypocritical selling all the stuff to people knowing how bad it is for them. 
plus I’m like the biggest up seller.
Them: ya I’ll have a large double double.
Me: aaannnndddd. … a fritter???
Them: ya that’s sounds good.
And then I feel bad but I guess I’m not their mother and they’re grown adults, so…

I’ve done two 36* hour fasts this week, which I’m committed to doing through the end of the month, but so far I’m pretty sure that I actually prefer doing longer, less frequent fasts.
We’ll see though, still early days.
*in practice, more like 40 hours.

Sorry about the allergies, mine are so much better now on Keto/lchf WOE. Not gone completely, but I rarely have to take any meds now. A very welcome change for Spring, Summer and Autumn.
