[QUOTE="KevinPotts, post: 1177613, member: 290458"] So I started it at 7pm last night (Monday 12 June 2016)....so far so good, but that's to be expected as I've been doing a weekly 42 hour fast for the past 8 weeks:). So let me define what I mean by Fast: NO food, lots of drinks (caf and decaf), coffee, green tea, water, Bovril. Doc has asked me to have a go sa I am fully Keto adapted having been at or close to a 20g per day LCHF diet for 8 weeks. I have 4 more weeks to go to complete my first 12 weeks before review and my second HbA1C and although as you will see from my signature all my currently testable metabolic markers have come into line, I am still about 5kg off what he thinks is my Personal Fat Threshold. Currently 75kg, aiming for 70kg (11 stone)....I won't drop 5kg in 4 weeks....if I drop .3 -.5kg per week we will both be happy:) To be honest I am far from convinced I can do this...but I do accept the premise that my body has fat stores of 40,000 Cals and as I am ketone adapted, my body should easily be able to consume the 11,000 Cals without too many problems and should certainly not go into starvation mode unlike if I was consuming glucose as fuel. We shall see:) Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum mobile app [/QUOTE]
