5.2 today. No meds. Except for Transplant meds which include cortisone that causes a slight rise in BGL. As I write, I'm at 47 hours of a 3 day (72 hrs) water fasting session. So I ate zilch. Drinking just water with some sea salt and bicarb for minerals and alkali, herbal teas and the odd coffee. Absolutely no carbs nor sweetner. To stop the pangs of hunger, 10g of psyllium husk in water today as it is the hardest day to get through. Let it quell then drink. It filled that gap to let me train. Have done 12100 steps walking and 2x20 mins 130bpm rebounding sessions. Also did 2 hours various weights. All together 162 intensity minutes of exercise. Also reached a new VO2 of 42 today. Not bad for 61 years of age. I feel Absolutely fantastic. As I'm due to finish at my normal interval fasting time, I will be pushing it to 88 hours. Ketosis and Autophagy have kicked in. I've lost 1 kg and 1cm at the waist. So it is working. This and my Clove powder are doing the trick.

Update. I had a BGL of 4.6 as at 19:45 hours. My heart started racing and I felt absolutely euphoric. Never thought fasting could be this easy and beneficial. Now with luck, my body will start pushing out stem cells to repair all the bad cells in my body. We can heal ourselves without the pharma industry. The only medicine we really need is traditional old school.

I turned away from the regular whey and other powders and now use Rice Protein. I use it in my shakes and my Protein bites for pre/Post training. Absolutely no additives. Neutral tasting so it's good for full lemon shakes too.

Still a great diet and workout despite the aggro with the lung. Most impressive. This must be so frustrating for you. Fingers crossed for you that it gets better very soon mate.
