I’m on a Keto diet and intermittent fasting for like 5 years. I started with moderate intetm.fasting of 14hr, and by the end of the fasting window I usually had around 1mmol/L of Ketones level. Few times I tried fasting to 19hr and I had ketones close to 2 and often greater.
I feel like the more I’m into it, the less ketosis state I can experience. Last year I increased my intermittent fasting to 20-21hr (only water and cup of a green tea for ~20hr).
I have not measured blood glucose and ketones for a long while, but just today when I finally decided to do, interestingly for me I’ve found I got only 0.1mmol/L, and 80 blood glucose. I even re-measured it (Keto Mojo with blood strips), - same results. I drunk a cup of coffee with 2.5oz of heavy weeping cream, and 30min later I made another measurement - same glucose level, 0.3 ketones level. Then I had a full Keto meal as always, with around 30-40gr of carbs, and 45 min later made another measurement: glucose level +9 to 89, ketones are the same 0.3.
Not sure if it helps to make any conclusions, but I feel no hunger after 20hr of fasting. My physical and mental states are normal, not agitated, not sleepy, just Ok, no known health issues, 45 years old.
Does it sound like a normal to you, or out of ordinary?
Thanks for your thoughts,
