That sounds so interesting @Brunneria. Are you keeping a food diary?
I have a feeling the cucumber sandwiches would work well with, dare I say it - celery?

Thank you.
Wow that's very dedicated. I have heard you can 5/2 it but was thinking maybe once a month til year end for me. How long have you been doing that for?
Groan you'll set Nom off now. Going to go before he drains my battery.

Put the day into MFP. Fat 85% carbs 5% protein10%, so actually off-target more than yesterday. I will cut back the protein a bit. Day 3 tomorrow!
This morning I had BP coffee and 2pecan sandwiches.
For lunch:
Poached egg, leaf salad, 1/4 avocado with macadamia oil. Two cream cheese pecan sandwiches.
Dinner;
Not really very hungry, so 1 mini Babybel cheese, 1 strawberry and a spoonful of double cream.
@Baruney I ate the Babybel while watching the ISS ( International Space Shuttle ) pass over my house.
Drank plenty of water all day.
I feel a bit feverish now, and wonder if this is the fat burning effect.
If you set a. Macadamia nut alight, it will burn for 15-20minutes, it has so much oil in it.

How many carbs in that lot? I don't take anything like that.
Only BP pill, once a day.
Get some salt down you. Do you have bovril down under. Iss passed our house on Christmas eve last year took little ted down to the beach and told him it was Santa's sleigh.
Feeling a bit wooly myself. @Brunneria have you any pick me up tips?
Don't know truth be told. It's not an everyday occurrence. Multivitamin, minerals and fish oil for sure everyday especially if running (high 5 zero). Others are no fillers no bulks from UK ebay pharmacy and van idiom from usa. BP is blood pressure?
Well, its a combo intermittent fasting, and fat fast.
But really, it just feels like coffeencream for brekkie, then a low carb high fat lunch and dinner.
Its my second week, and i ballsed up yesterday by spotting Mr B's tube of pringles on the kitchen countertop and eating 10 of them. No idea of the carbs, not that many, i suspect, but it was enough to make me feel grotty! All his fault, of course.
No diet plan/food diary, either. Just normalish lchf lunch and dinner.
Apart from yesterdays blip, im definitely in ketosis all the time, but im not losing weight. Im fluctuating through the same 4lb variation with no sign of it dropping.
He's a sneaky one that Mr B - making sure you get your salt via the pringles. I'm sure they were left there with good intentions.

I would say just keep up the fluids and salt.
How long are you all fat fasting? I think i read somewhere it should only be a few days, but cant remember why. Lack of protein? Fibre? Not sure.
It cant be the calorie intake, because that is positively decadent compared with the newcastle diet, which runs for 8 weeks.

Thanks, Brunneria,
I'm doing 5 days. It is not recommended to do more.
Also I am just going to have some miso soup, which is quite salty.
And tomorrow I will start taking fish oil.

That sounds a lot like Bulletproof Intermittent Fasting, which I recently started researching, except your coffee is with cream, not butter and MCT (or coconut) oil. Do you not like butter&CO, or is there another reason you're using cream instead?

@loulou99782 I found this link http://lowcarbediem.com/fat-bombs-recipes-atkins-ketosis/ with 19 recipes for fat bombs, for fat fasts. Haven't tried any of them myself (yet), but several are dairy-free.

Finding this fascinating. Had my first bulletproof coffee this morning at 0600 before my 3 mile walk. Delicious and kept me going till lunch time.
I used coconut oil as I suspect that a manufactured MCT is jus another faddy pitch.

3 to 5 days are the modern version. Lack of protein and micronutrients are main issues. Fibre can be fixed with psyllium. Hence the extra supplement. Could be just expensive pee but why risk it. It's really just a kick start technique to get into optimum ketosis and I'm looking at it from that angle and bs control. Weight loss good but you will put on 40 to 60 of what you lost in that short time frame.
Haven't decided to weigh at end of ff or usually Monday morning. Going to finish on Friday night so 5 days for me.
Having a cup of bovril as we speak. Rock and roll!
Sheer laziness!
I used to make bulletproof coffee regularly, but lapsed into cream because it is easier, quicker and less washing up.
Although one day i will get some MCT oil to try.
Scuppered!
So had my bpc for brekkie. 11 ish grandma outlaw says I'm just doing some eggs and bacon for grandad out law can I do some ting for you?
No thanks I says I'm stuffed from breakfast.
Ok she says.
5 minutes later "baruney your eggs and bacon's ready"!!!
It's not her fault - she's Greek! Count myself lucky to get away so lightly really. Bang goes the ratios fir today then. See if I can pull anything out of the bag later.
