We will all be helping one another. You can handle it. Have confidence. And if some reason you don’t finish the whole fast this time (but you will) there is always next time.

Frank, if you haven’t already, you need to raise this question outside of the Zorn Fast thread so that more people will see it and pay attention. It sounds like a tricky issue and an 11.2 BG is alarming if you’ve been LC/Keto for so long. The fact that your BG only got to 7 by fall 2017 after almost a year of keto also rings some alarm bells since most people go much lower must faster than it sounds you have experienced.
It could be that you are one of the very rare non-responders to keto but others may have other explanations that could help.
Unfortunately the doctor probably won’t be much help except to put you back on the meds (many people here are fans of metformin almost regardless of their T2 status) which might be a good idea in the short term. They typically don’t have time or skills to get to root causes when a pill will suffice.
Best of luck.

My last meal was at 10pm last night. It’s 8am now and I am starting the day with black coffee (I prefer it with cream.) I’m really excited for the next few days, I’ve been a bit sluggish lately and I feel this fast is just what I needed. 
(who wants to eat in 35 degree heat anyway!)

I’ve been curious about this as well. I wonder if it has to do with the digestability/metabolism of bone broth vs. HWC? Maybe it’s that, if you’re feeling bad, the protein will be processed more quickly to give you a boost? Complete guesses there. Maybe @Brenda can ask one of the experts.

New to the Zornfast…I’ve done a few 24 hour fasts, frequent IF. I’ll commit to 36 hours. My last meal will be on the evening of Thursday, Feb. 15.
I’ve been doing keto for a year and 5 months. A little laziness plus something else has me in a stall. When I fast, even just 24 hours, it breaks something loose. I would be happy if I could drop just 10 more pounds. That would leave me a bit chunky but I can live with it.

I actually started my fast on Saturday Evening. I’m about 95 hours in right now. My goal is to make this the longest fast I’ve done. Good fasting all!

I was full after lunch and never ate dinner. So here we go. I was not planning on a fast, so lets see how this goes. I’ve not been able to fast since starting this new job. Stress=hunger.

Started my timer, in for the full run. This is my first group fast. I’m just getting back to keto after a couple of rough years. Though, in the 4 months I first tried it I lost 35 lbs and got my A1C from 10 down to 6.7
I really want to prove my doctor wrong and beat this “disease”! He loves to prescribe, I say no a lot!

I have read a lot about the Zorn fast since I started keto in Oct. 2017. I have been doing IF of 18/4 minimum for a couple months and I did one EF of 90 hours so it’s time to join the party this month.
I already started at 3pm.
