Perfect!
Starting Monday please let’s keep in touch
I’m needing to loose some weight but also really excited about the other benefits of longer term fasting. I heard scientifically that five days is optimal for all the health benefits.
I would love to work up to being able to do a five day fast.
THANK YOU for joining me
Have you spent some time getting fat adapted? Longer extended fasting became much easier once I did that.
Day 4 today weighing in at 180.2 pounds. Gonna head to Gym for some cardio.
Weighed in on day 5 178.8. I am breaking fast today with 2 fried eggs.
Hey fasting buddy, are you ready?
I had a great couple of days re-feeding after my 96 hour fast last week. Stayed in ketosis during the re-feed, even with a couple of glasses of wine last night. I am back to fasting now. Let’s have a great week and drop some pounds!
Sounds good.
I haven’t done much extended fasting so last week after 3 day fast I kind of ate some stuff I shouldn’t have😬.
I was 0.5 ketosis reading today.
I am shooting for 5 days.
Me too! I dropped to .7 after a party Saturday night, but I had a great time, enjoyed the food and wine, and got back to fasting. That’s why I like this way of staying in ketosis/losing weight/healing. When life happens I can stop and enjoy myself and the meal offered, then go back to it. I plan to keep doing that until I hit goal weight next month. I’m halfway there!
How much weight are you looking to loose?
20lbs would put me tomorrow high school weight of 118lbs but I would be happy with loosing 15.
Actually by living a lifestyle of feasting/ fasting
who knows how much I could loose at 60??
I’m good with slow just so long as it’s steady!!
I’m about the same. About 15-17 pounds more (lost 17.5 so far). My goal is 18 to 20% body fat. Tomorrow I get a DXA scan & bone density scan so I will have a better idea of how many pounds to go.
I found a place that does both for $150.
I live in Kansas City and from what I could find online that seemed to be the average around here.
I found one for less at St Luke’s health system but it reads fat and lean mass only and I may try it in the future. For right now I am really overdue for the bone density scan.
37 hours in, feel strong in spite of the restless night. So far only water and coffee. Striving for noon Thursday.
I see.
I guess I hadn’t thought about it but I am 60.
Tomorrow I am going to the doctor because I hurt my hip maybe I will run it by her. I don’t think they will cover the dexa scam but a bone scan my insurance will possibly cover.
Day two…feeling good! Lost a few carb/water weight lbs. I’m further into ketosis and BG dropping just as it should be.
Good job Denice!
I can’t do coffee it wrecks my stomach
I’m striving for 5 on Friday…we’ll see.
So far so good. All I’v had is water and some salt.
Day 3!
I’m half way there…
Weight the same but Ketones up (3.7) from yesterday and BG 50. Hope that’s okay 
I had a few tiny sips of my husbands coffee but other than that just sipping water all day. My husband and I are both cold but the weather is 90° . We turned off the AC for a while last night.
I’m the least hungry in the morning and the MOST in the evening a couple hours prior to bed. I think I read somewhere that is one of those hunger hormones acting up so I ignored it.
I wish I could stop thinking about food…
