Personally I question the benfits of fasting when eating "food" like baguettes between fasts.
That was a wrong choice for sure. As I said, I did not do well that day, but I do think fasting is bringing me benefits. I have a long history of disordered eating - the recent lapses are by far less impactful than before beginning lchf/IF. I am hoping I can eliminate lapses altogether, and perhaps extended fasting will help, since 24 hour fasts have had a very positive effect so far. But I am fallible - I am posting honestly to track and share my experiences and progress.
I have so far only achieved mild ketosis, and of course will not be in ketosis at the moment, but when around 1.4 ketones, I experienced a calmness and clarity that is usually lacking in my daily life. I intend to try extended fasts in an effort to spend more time in ketosis, maybe ultimately all the time if I can. That's a big if, though.
