MAY Fast 2018..... names please!!

[rab5]

No I was over doing it at the weekend. Not carbs but loads of protein and fat. Ridiculous really. Experimenting to see what happens. So decided on a 24 hr reset lol

I’m actually looking forward to our next fast. But I need to work on refeeding afterwards as I think I have been a disaster on that effort.

Also, how am I supposed to know what levels I should be targeting?

My aim is when eating normally.. to be between 4.0 (rare for me) and 6.0. I have occasional excursions over 6 sometimes but try to keep them lower.

This is my graph of 2018 readings. Usually 3-4 per day

The very low dip was when fasting the April fast that we did on the site. The 7's were the day after I broke the fast and went out for lunch for my mums birthday when something (I'm still not sure exactly what it was) caused a spike.

What software is that graph from?
Please

Thank you. That is very helpful indeed.

Excel 2008 for mac
I'm afraid I'm too much old school to use anything else and way to cheap to upgrade for functionality I'll never use!

 

[bulkbiker]

Thank you. That is very helpful indeed.

I'll hasten to add I'm quite hard on myself and other members here will have a far looser view of where their numbers should be.

@bulkbiker is a superstar when it comes to controlling BG.
I aim to be under 7 at all times.

@bulkbiker is too stingy to go any higher

A week .......oooooh!

@jasmindesylva If it's any help I am 60 hours into a (practise) fast and I am also sat at 5.2 this morning. My Ketones are not yet awake as only 0.8. It took nearly 5 days before they stuck their heads above the parapet last time. At that point I was just into the 4's. At that point I grinned and headed for a steak ;-)

 

[rab5]

not too long now

 

[Bluetit1802]

I am not doing any extended fasting. I have no weight to lose and my levels are fine. I don't eat food from dinner to next lunch, which is 18hours, every day. I was always around 5.2 before lunch until a few weeks ago when I suddenly notched down and am now around 4.6 to 4.9. Today, an all time record of 3.9.. It's been a long time coming! I've been doing this 18/6 fast for 17 months!

As long as it lasts!

Evening all. I am gracefully bowing out of this one. Have been feeling out of sorts with episodes of low blood pressure, strange appetite patterns for a couple of weeks (reluctantly off to the docs tomorrow) so think it best to wait until I’m back on an even keel before attempting a longer fast. Will be following you all with interest and intend to join in another time.

No worries.. sounds like a very sensible plan. Hope you find out what's up quickly. Get well soon.. we'll miss ya!
