Broke my fast at 22 hrs. I pulled my back out a few days ago and this afternoon it hit me with a lot of pain. I just did not want to fast and nurse my back.
Well there is always another time to fast. I did have a 82 mg/dL BG level at about 19 hours. For me that is good and seems to be a new normal.
Same…but without the back pain. So sorry to hear about your injured back! and congrats on the 82=bg
I was having that brain fog thing that keeps me from working with any concentration and a shit ton of irritability. So I went for OMAD .
At 22 hours before I ate, bg=79, bk=2.9, gki=1.5
Tomorrow I will go for another OMAD or better… I need to be able to think and work though and as you say:
There is always another fast!
Mame you really have great numbers. Lets do this again soon…
Oh okay, sorry I don’t know what it is either --I just have that page Bookmarked for short forms.
Not sure if this is a fast or not. I have plans for super distractions tonight, so it may work for me. I feel fine brain-wise so that’s good. Will take measurements after work…
Good wishes to all fasting on this fine day!
Fasting today.
Eating a lot of protein yesterday seems to have had an effect on my desire to eat (not hunger, which is usually not an issue) today.
I’m going to do a 48 hr. fast after dinner tonight.
I also wanted to share an interesting story. Because I am feasting today, so I can do a fast, I went to breakfast with my husband. We were talking to the waitperson and she mentioned she does intermittent fasting for a couple of months now. and the guy next my husband, said me too.I then mentioned I had been going it for over two years now. And the guy sitting beside me said he does it as well. One guy eats paleo, the other just whole foods, the gal does that as well, and I mentioned I did keto. And we all felt this is the best WOE we had ever done.
Just shows how IFing is getting around, in all the food circles.
I’m planning on tomorrow being an OMAD (later afternoon) day. I don’t do many OMADs so I’m trying this out. Friday am is protein + collagen feast meal because of Body by Science workout early Friday am.
Several people I work with have mentioned IF but I have not had time to talk about their experiences. It is spreading.
Today was OMAD. No plan, I just ate when I felt the need for fuel, whatever I was able to (I kind of had enough of everything but need for fuel helped. And some dishes I rarely eat).
I thought maybe I will fast but my body had some other idea. No wonder, I didn’t eat much in the last days.
I probably will do OMAD tomorrow as well. I don’t feel compelled to eat lunch anymore (unless maybe if I cook something very interesting just before) and I can wait for the time when I really need food so I can eat enough for a day. It’s different at extreme low-carb, I can’t eat a big meal for lunch if I am still quite fine…
Another day, another omad… super distractions did not work quite as planned due to ice storm. Ah well tomorrow may be the day.
at 21 hours fasted bg=71, bk=3.2, gki=1.231
Just started a fat fast and gonna see how far I can go. For anyone interested in a Coconut Oil fast here is a good video on it. I figure if I have a problem with Candida, or H Pylori or Parasites, this will help a lot, Then perhaps move into pure water fasting.
Another successful fast day.
I definitely felt less desire to eat than normal. Whether that’s the higher protein yesterday, the placebo effect of just one of those things
At about 85 hours this morning. bg-72, bk-2.6. Still wishing the ketones were higher but they have been climbing. I’m debating if I should go with my originally intended 5 day fast (120 hrs) or try to go for a full 7 days. This is my first fast over 48 hours. I’ve lost about 9 pounds as of this morning (goal is 50 pounds total loss) so thinking I’ll be at about 11 pounds lost by tomorrow. No clue how much I’ll put back on after I eat.
I’m confident I could make it 7 days but just wondering if I shouldn’t push it this time and stop at 5 and wait a few weeks to do it again. I would absolutely love to eat but wouldn’t say I’m very hungry. My wife and kids think I’m completely insane for going this long…
