Allright !
36 hours into fasting…
I’ll try to describe how I feel in addition to weird symptoms I experienced so far.
So I went to bed at 10:30 PM - Glucose was 5.0. Ketones were 0.6 (blood mesured)
I had severe cramps in my foot extremities as soon as I went to bed. Probably due to my Diabetic Neuropathy. (see : Diabetic Neuropathy forum post) The symptoms were far worst than usual. I also had a quick cramp in the top-left part of my belly, just below my rib cage. I was sooo tired then that I just passed by this, holding my feet a few minutes in my hand.
I note that I did climbed 44 floors and had 8900 steps yesterday (unusual for me in winter) I also worked for 12 hours in front of a computer.
I sleept for 8 hours straight (1 quick bathroom trip to urinate). Fitbit reported a pretty good sleep.
This morning I feel like a hangover in my head. Heavyness. My feet hurts but no cramps. The pain spot below my rib cage to the left is still a tidy bit present. It feels a bit like before losing weight, when I standed up for several hours, the cramp pain at the same place. (diagnosed to be the Non Alcoolic Fatty Liver Disease) did not have this pain since my weight lost last year.
I dont yet feel explosive or supercharged. I had my usual coffee. 300ml of water. I put a teaspoon of salt in a small glass of water + a pinch of Myo to chug down the hardcore salty mixture. I felt like throwing for 30 mins but it’s gone now. I also had 2 Tylenol. About 1 hour after getting up, my fasting glucose is 7.0 (!!) and Ketones are at 0.4 (!!). My numbers are quite the opposite as I expected.
I don’t imply fasting causality with all symptoms and results. But I still continue and log everything.
Time to work now…
