Great results.This morning My ketostix was a shade darker, reading 1.5 mmol/l. Another 0.5kg down in weight. My shoes are now too big and I have prominent ankle bones again the odema seems resolved.
I didn't eat until 1.45pm today, when I had Greek yogurt with some flaked almonds. I still don't feel hungry, and thankfully gastric upset has resolved. I will eat again before 6pm, probably some fish and vegetables with butter. Then not eat after this until midday tomorrow, when I have a feast of roast goose planned.
Frustratingly, I once again had fasting BG of 6.3 first thing this morning, then an hour later 8.4. Think this needs extra work, though all other readings today have been low 6s.
Well done I picked up 4 kgs just to see how this felt - substantial. What's your goal(s), as you are nearing 200 lbs.Some morning data and a record of the week
So this morning woke up to the following
FBG 4.1
Ketones 6.0
Weight 205.2 pounds
Body Fat 27.3
Visceral Fat 12
BMI 27.8
Start to finish comparison

The only really odd result is the body fat percentage which either means I have lost a lot of muscle (which I doubt) or my scales are a bit rubbish at measuring which I fear is correct..
The trick now will be trying to maintain the 9 pounds weigh loss!
I would love to get to 13 stone - 182 pounds to have a bit of up and down room.. under 200 would be nice. Will be trying to maintain this loss in the coming weeks (or as much as I can).Well done I picked up 4 kgs just to see how this felt - substantial. What's your goal(s), as you are nearing 200 lbs.
drink more water and less coffee when fasting?
Looking back I guess I was kinda thirsty with a nasty taste in my mouth for most of the fast.. next time I really should "listen to my body" duh!I go with prof Noakes...... drink when thirsty. B

Not so sure about that as I’m there 99% of the time anyway..Nasty taste might’ve been in ketosis
