Can you feel that you are burning fat?


(Alec) #1

Does anyone else get a feeling when they are burning fat? I don’t measure ketones, so I don’t really know whether I am imagining it or not, but sometimes I get a feeling that I am burning fat: it feels like a settled but empty feeling in the stomach with zero hunger.

Anyone else experience the same, or am I just dreaming, making it up and just experiencing wishful thinking? :thinking::joy:

Yes I got that feeling when I fasted and wasn’t sure if it was psychological or not. It felt like my body was saying “YEEHA we’ve stuck gold!!” when it found 25kg of fat to mine for energy :joy:

What is the sound of one fat cell autophagy-ing?

I think I know what you mean, when I have fasted my hunger has come in waves then just disappeared. I’ve often wondered if that is when fat is being released, hence the hunger signals get turned off.

On two occasions (both on day three of five day fasts) I have been so overheated that I have had to strip to my underwear for approximately 5 minutes–it’s winter here–to bring my body temperature down. Wtf is that all about?

I’ve had a similar sensation. You can just “feel” your body getting smaller! It’s not a sensation I want explained just enjoy it!

I’ve never fasted for more than a 16:8 but there are often times when I am very warm and wonder if it’s my body burning fat. I don’t have to be doing anything strenuous and I can be sitting in the air conditioned office, and my entire body is just very warm. Not uncomfortably so, not a hot flash, no sweating, just like someone turned up my temperature for 30 minutes or so.

This sometimes happens when I’m cooking my lamb chops on the barbecue. :fire: Sounds more like a sizzle. :steakcake: I’m sure its nothing to worry about. :wink:

I wondered about this today!
I feel warmer than I remember, despite the fact it’s still summer, and am enjoying month 4 ketogenic diet.
Cool.
