Started a 36-hr fast last night after dinner. Having my salted black coffee this morning.
I didn’t blur coffee since I don’t think the mention of black coffee would really trigger anyone’s hunger while fasting … but if it does please let me know and I will edit.
KCFO
My BG dropped to 52 (2.89) on day 3 of my last EF. My ketones were also the highest I’ve measured 7.6.
I felt fine and not weak or shaky so I kept on fasting for another day. My liver made me some glucose because the next time I checked my BG was higher w/o any calories coming in.
I’m trying something new this round - dry fasting. 36 hours in. My plan is to make it to 48 hours and then transition to water fasting. I went this route because I was having trouble completing any sort of fast due to “hunger pains”. No hunger pains this round! We’ll see how things go.
I’ve never done one myself, but just make sure to watch for dehydration, meaning any signs of it. 
… Hope it works out for ya though.
Thanks, @Digital_Dave! I am keeping a close eye on dehydration. I am very “in tune” to any signs of it, so I won’t be taking any chances.
Good to hear, just stay safe And I’m not sure I’ve heard many folks on here mentioning dry fasting, so some might actually like to hear what you think afterwards? 
Made it past clock-lunch with no hunger. Sucked on a few pink salt crystals. Will make up a ketoaide for me and my fasting hubby to sip on.
Not quite 12 hours in. Clock-dinner time so some tummy growling going on. Nothing I can’t ignore.
BG: 78
BK: 2.6
GKI: 1.67
Hopefully starting to get some autophagy going on and through the night while I sleep.
A few more hours and I will turn in and sleep through the rest of my fast. May wait until lunch to break tomorrow so I can extend it to 42 hrs.
Broke my dry fast at 43 hours and transitioned to water fast. I may drink water this evening and go back to dry fasting tomorrow. I’ll see how I feel.
12h in what i want to be a 48h fast.
This time without added fat. coffe, tea and water/salt only
lets try again, I had a good refeeding the last few days. Work was so crazy maddening and frustrating…
It doesn’t help when work is tough.
I made it my second 36 hour fasting this week. Will only have one 36 hour fasting next week, due to having a holiday on Monday (one of my best fasting days). Will be with the family instead (though I’ll work from home that day).
This what exercise does to my glucose-ketone index:
The two left-most columns are ketones (have two monitors, one at home, one at work), the 40 is from a ketonix, the 86 and 102 are blood sugar (again, two Contour Next EZ, one at home, one at work, in one column, though), and the calculated GKI. A doubling of GKI just by exercising.
Technically broke my fast at 35 hours with a fatty coffee. Won’t refeed until 42 hours at clock-lunch today.
I am just following Dr. Panda’s protocol. I will be doing that til Wed. night when I will start the Zornfast next week.
I think I have pushed my set point down a smidge, I see one number a lot more than in the past and it is 4 lbs. under my original goal weight. So I am thinking I might keep doing Panda’s protocol after the Zornfast and see if it was just a change up my body needed or if it is something my body REALLY wants to do.
I posted this over in the ladies section, but I thought I might get more guidance over here, as it is not a ladies only question.
My longest fast was 48 hours. I ended it with a pretty full meal. [spoiler]Barbeque beef brisket, barbecue pork rib, and cole slaw.[/spoiler] No digestive issues.
Also - you need to blur out your food references in your quote, per the sub-forum guidelines.
I have yet to figure out anything that does not cause a similar effect to what you have experienced, and I’ve been doing this (fasting) for almost 4 years. I’ve tried everything.
