[QUOTE="Mr Whippy, post: 1444394, member: 28538"] Update time from my 2nd FMD session - Fairly disappointing. Despite some early signs around day 3 that I might be able to reduce my basal rates some more it appears not so, though I have slightly reduced my bolus ratio for my evening meal, so not all lost. I was quietly hoping to repeat my success from my first session but it hasn't worked out for some reason, however I have managed to hold onto my gains from that first FMD that I did in early March. Looking back I think I know where I messed up though. Unlike some others on here I do find the FMD to be hard work, first 2 days not so bad but after that it's just a grind for me and I can't wait for breakfast on day 6. It's do-able, but I find it hard graft. Each day seems to last forever. On my first session most days were 1 large avocado, a handful of mixed nuts, and 1/2 a bowl of homemade veggie broth (no potato or starch). Second session much the same except that I had 3 or 4 days with the same recipe broth, but this time with some chicken in it, I had made a large pan full of this a few days before and I wanted to use it up as I hate throwing good food away. I think this was my mistake as the chicken would have probably pushed me over the protein limit for the FMD. As a reminder, this is the basic requirement for Dr Longo's Fasting Mimicking Diet - Taken from [URL]https://thequantifiedbody.net/fast-mimicking-diet/[/URL] [I][COLOR=#5900b3]The nutrition rules established for the Fast Mimicking Diet are: [/COLOR][/I] [LIST] [*][I][COLOR=#5900b3]Each month (3 / 4 cycles in studies): 25 days eat normally, 5 days FMD[/COLOR][/I] [*][I][COLOR=#5900b3]High micronutrient content (i.e. greater than 50 percent by weight) from natural sources[/COLOR][/I] [*][I][COLOR=#5900b3]Ketogenic: Restricted protein and a high percentage of calories from fat[/COLOR][/I] [/LIST] [I][COLOR=#5900b3] In practice this translates to: [/COLOR][/I] [LIST] [*][I][COLOR=#5900b3]Day 1: 54% norm caloric intake 1,090 kcal (10% protein, 56% fat, 34% carb)[/COLOR][/I] [*][I][COLOR=#5900b3]Days 2–5: 34% norm caloric intake 725 kcal (9% protein, 44% fat, 47% carb)[/COLOR][/I] [/LIST] So 9% Protein.... Hmmmm, I think I screwed that with the chicken in the soup. Basically I was "winging it" and I should have been paying more attention to the details I reckon. So I'm going to have another go, starting on Monday, and I will resolve to stick by the rules properly this time ! - Lesson learned. On another slightly different angle - I just did a Google search and typed in "FMD" and noticed that nearly all the hits at the top of the page were for something called the "Fast Metabolism Diet" which is something completely different - Mainly aimed at weight loss as far as I can see, so not really applicable here. Just be aware if you are digging around the net for more info. Cheers - Dave. [/QUOTE]
