[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1025962, member: 150927"] Honestly! Too much brain fog to figure out I needed water? The importance of ample hydration during fasting perfectly made! And drinking a lovely cup of Mr Svea's homemade turkey stock/broth/consome. Now I can talk BGs. After meter-number-adjustments (see my thread on CareSens-N if interested) - all in the 5s since 'lunchtime' yesterday. Good! (At 10 hours since last food.) Other numbers: 30 hours since last food (morning reading Day 2) : Fatty/watery extras - from 74kg to 72.5kg, so height to waist ratio back to 0.49. (I was sitting at 0.50 before the fast and 'consider action'.) (0.50 is the 'global boundary' for too much belly fat for your height.) One cm off the waist and hips. Dr Fuhrman calls this using fasting to rebuild your body. I like that idea and image. I like that it involves time and gaining and losing, gaining and losing, as I am building my good health, I hope, as well as this body in this general range. (Including my HBA1cs!) My goal is to get my glucose level down into the 30s, to give me a bigger buffer for good organ health. (I would prefer a range in the 30s to 40! Not 40-44, as it is now. But - who knows? It might not ever happen, and I am prepared for that.) Dr Fung talks about using fasting as intensive dietary management. It's all good! (Gee, I hope so. Else I go through Day-2 blues once a month for nothing! o_O [/QUOTE]
