[QUOTE="Tamarillo, post: 2558983, member: 544352"] Hi Pipp, weightloss wasn't the reason I was fasting. 3 kg is only a 'best guess' because I only thought to weigh myself on day 4, and then weighed again on day 10. Prior to that it was at least a month before I'd got on the scales. I expect other people might lose a lot more weight than I did, depending on their level of insulin resistance maybe? Sorry I ought to have mentioned in my original post. I was trying a longer fast to see if a low GKI might help with neuro and autoimmune issues....that's specifically why I was hoping to attain a ratio of less than 1. I am also still quite insulin resistant so with what I originally planned to be a 5 day fast I was expecting it might have some impact in that area. Yes I've been an intermittent faster quite a while. Previously I'd only done a 5 day extended fast but I've done a number of 3 days. 10 is a bit drastic I admit , but not something I plan on doing often at all. I felt perfectly fine to cook most days, plus make school lunches and all the other fun stuff. [/QUOTE]
