I thought about getting the Perfect Keto chocolate to try, wondering if it would help cut my brain fog when I start eating after a fast. Tasty?
August Fat Burnin'
Now that is a nice looking B & B. I was especially drooling over the breakfast menu (fasting - everything looks wonderful even though I probably normally wonāt want it). I spent 3 weeks in New Zealand a number of years ago and stay only in B & Bs. Loved the experience.
Thank you, I like that! I have a lot of traveling coming up, so Iāll be sneaking in a quick fast here and there ā in gentle waves
The ketones taste kind of like a chocolate protein powder, Iāve been blending them with coffee, so the flavor isnāt very pronounced. The feeling is pretty close to how I feel after fasting for about 20 hours ā clear-headed, energetic, optimistic.
Is there a recipe somewhere? I have lots of joint pain that has gotten WAY better on keto,but can always use a little push!
It is pretty tasty, not bad at all. And it does seem to clear the fog, at least in me.
They do advise to work up to a full dose (like MCT oil, though not as bad). I, of course, ignored that advice the first time, and had a full scoop in a BPC (which is already hard on my digestive tract because I donāt have a gall bladder) and my guts were rocking and rolling lol.
But since then, itās been fine.
The recipe is here.
Iāve been meaning to taste it since Iāve read about it. Tell me if itās good.
Inspiring, now thatās something I could hope to be!
You can gain or lose that much in 12 hours? Are you a cardiac patient by any chance? That is a lot for your body to deal with, my goodness! Iām not being sarcastic (I know posts can be seen that way at times because we cannot hear the inflection). That just sounds like a crazy-fast water weight shiftā¦ugh.
The hardcore statement make me really think. When youāre fasting it seems you (I) do more of thatā¦hence the occasional mind games too, huh? But I get going on a fast, and I realize today that it really is a lot easier for me to fast than it is for me to eat!
So, what Iām finding, under the layers, is that my bad relationship with food needs a LOT of work! I absolutely love to eat. But, when I do, I find it hard to stop even when, yes, I am physically satiated. Itās the want, need for more, more, more of every delicious thing I can have. Dear Lord, I need help!
Therefore, Iām finding that the fasting is helping me to just see more clearly and I realize that there is going to be a continuous battle of sorts until I can find peace with all of this. Does that sound crazy?
I also can see that I have a much easier time keeping my intake more reasonable when I do more of an OMAD/Keto WOE or at most 20:4 IF
I had a FBG of 92 this morningā¦I thought it would be lower, but not so. Anyway, fasting is on and all is well.
BTW, when you say āmuch more hardcoreā what are you thinking of for duration of fast?
Weāre heading to Lubec, Maine. A B&B for the first three nights, then a house rental for a week. Itās so quiet (many would say boring) I just love it there. The sea, seals, gulls, lobsterā¦knitting, spinning, walks and whatever! A few decent eateries as well ;-D
I plan to bring a lot of baking items (swerve, sukrin gold, sucralose, cacao, coconut oil, cocoa butter, oat fiber, almond and coconut flour too) and we can buy all the other basics like eggs, butter, bacon, steak, lobster, HWC and such at the local grocery.
Iāve also had a talk with my husband, letting him know how much I appreciate his support, and how I plan to make myself some desserts for after dinner when we get āhomeā. he even bought me an ice cream maker and had it shipped to our destination!
Thatās a great place to be!
No, Iām not a heart patient, in fact no real health issues other than overweight and I am celiac. Just a very watery physique I guess lol. I would always gain five or more pounds when my period came.
Well, Iām going to be alone in the house for a couple months starting in late September, so no pressure to cook for anyone or eat with anyone. Iāve done one partial Zornfast (54 hours), so Iād like to build from there. At least five days and if that goes well, maybe 1-2 weeks? NOTE: I realize that for some folks here, that aināt very 'hardcore." Hah, Iām a wussā¦
What a sweet hubs you have! Iām also heading to Maine, going sailing with family next month. Yessssā¦
Sailing, oh yea, you will have a blast!
I think 1-2 weeks is amazing, and I know you can do it!!! I can hardly wait to see how you do. This is such a great forum for us, huh?
Yep, seriously. It has changed my life! I would never, ever have thought I could fast if it wasnāt for this āplace.ā
Hey Irishred. I heard Bruce Springsteen singing, there. Born to run or more likely born to eat, in my case, but went 70 hours on my version of the August Zornfast, easiest ever. I hope things are well in your neck of the woods.
Thanks, Gatita. I remember Dr. Fung saying that most people should expect a maximum of 1/2 lb. lost per day while fasting. Iāll take it.
0.5 lb per day lost, that is pretty good, if only I wouldnāt past it back on after the fact. Truly loving the fast though. Congrats on 70 hours! Zorn Fast, I havenāt looked to see, what IS that?
We still have almost 2 weeks left for the August Fat Burninā, so let the fat BURN!
Itās a good thing, Helewisa. Normally set for the third week in each month, over a weekend, high-priestessed by none other than the inimitable Brenda Zorn herself.
Ha, then I have already completed it I guess! I stopped eatingā¦well no, that was the night of the 17th that I began to fast, but now Iām still fasting So, from 8/17 @ about 2030 untilā¦8/22 or maybe 8/23ā¦or 8/24!
Thank you for the definition
Great job, Helewisa! The night of the 17th was when I started as well - found out Iād be off over this weekend, makes fasting easier, since otherwise Iād be with my co-worker all the time and drinks and meals would call too strongly. Iām weak, that way, but youāre strong - keep it going!
Thank you Doug! I really canāt believe the support we can be to each other here. Thank God for 2KetoDudes!!!
