OK Kevin! Way to go!Your posts in this thread have been so encouraging to me, as a new LCHF lifestyle participant. I too have been reading Dr. Fung and find that it is giving me new hope. In three months of an introductory 50 carb a day regimen, I have lost weight without trying, my toe sores have entirely healed up, my inflammation all over my body is greatly reduced, and my morning numbers have come down from 12 and 13 to sevens and eights. Recently I have been going about 16 hours at a time to introduce myself to fasting, and it's been doing well, but I admit I am intimidated by longer fasts. I share Brun's trepidation and reactions entirely. Your sharing of the results and moments of your fast give me great encouragement to continue on. You are my hero!BOOM!! 4 day (96 hour) fast completed.
7pm BG 4.1, BP 118/68, BPM 67
Remarkably straightforward and could pretty easily do this one again.
Not sure what I gained in terms of BG stability. A big effort to drop my BG 1.4 mmol, but convinced fat as fuel makes eating less a lot more achievable.
Going to research and consider a 7 day fast in about a month...would be a real test, so just thinking it through
Dinner tonight at 7pm, salmon with seeds, OPPO ice cream with a few strawbs and bluebs....felt like a bit too much...so need to gradually reacclimatise tomorrow
