[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1025856, member: 150927"] As Dr Fung reports - Day 2 of any non-food fast is often the worst, in terms of how you feel. I have woken up with a definite ring of 'brain fog' on the top of my head. I want Mr Svea to bring me my tea. Hell - I want him to make my coffee! ie lack of energy. Last night I did have a burst of energy (at the end of about 20 hours of fasting) - this was with a weekend-away invite, and some ketone action. (Level 1 on ketostix, which apparently means some ketone action started about three hours before that, for it to be evident in ....) ( I find it hard to key urine! :)!) This morning - ketones down to trace at 0.5. I have no idea what that means. (I think, in my poor clouded memory banks, it's to do with volume of ketones in urine, which is one of the reasons why testing ketones in blood is so much better, as the volume is too low in the morning, but increases so night-time readings with ketostix are much more accurate.)
