How are you feeling?
Good luck ..... I don't know how you can do this fasting for such a period
Give it a go.. you don't know what you can achieve until you try it.. although you might need to watch your meds obviously..Good luck ..... I don't know how you can do this fasting for such a period
Perhaps I will try fasting once I am off the Glic ....Give it a go.. you don't know what you can achieve until you try it.. although you might need to watch your meds obviously..
Are you seriously hungry? I'm sure I would be - although I know there are many fasting heros out there!
Doesn't being in ketosis prevent you from feeling hungry? It did for me.My only concern (and I accept that other ppl may never have this issue), is that I have problems getting to sleep when hungry.
It is a cyclical little process where I notice I am hungry, worrit about going to sleep, get stressed, focus on the hunger, worrit I won't sleep, get stressed...
I can keep myself awake for hours like this - all the while fully aware that it is probably all in my head.
So I think the biggest barrier for me, as I gradually increase fasting times, is getting past that bedtime hunger.

Kevin, I'm impressed.
Are you also recording your ketone levels as well as all else?

That would really put me off. I usually find that after the second day I feel no hunger at all.When fasting, my hunger comes in waves. Some quite intense - as described above, a wave at 11pm is going to keep me awake. And stressed.
Very well done sir.. and some great results too..So early morning of day 4:
10 hours 5.3 - BP 116/68, BPM 66
24 hours 4.8 - BP 119/66, BPM 68
35 hours (6AM) 5.3 - BP 116/67, BPM 62
48 hours - 4.8 - BP 118/77
64 hours - 4.4 - BP 115/69, BPM 66
71 hours - 4.6 - BP 116/73, BPM 60
83 hours - 4.4 - BP 114/68, BPM 64 - keystones using sticks based on colour looks like 4, which is high, but it's hard to match the colours and the sticks are notoriously inaccurate, but defo real Ketosis.
I feel really good and will easily make it to 96 hours (4 days) at 7pm tonight. I'm convinced by Jason Fung's contention that 7 days is perfectly possible with a ketogenic LCHF diet
