The Fabulous Fasters Group Fast April 2018

Very tempted to join, just recovering from viral infection, and on steroid meds.
Giving it a few weeks, and maybe start a May or June fasting group. Steroids play havoc with blood glucose and weight, so intervention required. Will stock freezer with bone broth in preparation.
Will be cheering the rest of you from the sidelines in the meantime.
Maybe we should start a monthly fast support group like they have on www.ketogenicforums.com ?
 
Third set of numbers for today
BG 4.7
Ketones 1.0 (I have a load of out of date strips to use up so will test multiple times each day although the results may be garbage)

Consumption so far
2 400ml mugs of china tea
2 400ml mugs of coffee with 20ml of double cream in each
2 400ml mugs of tea with 45ml of lactofree milk

I'll do a full days consumption before I go to bed tonight along with a final BG and maybe a before bed ketone reading.

I have to admit thats where I got the idea, especially after I saw you on the forum there. Thats why I initially asked if it had been done here. I think its a great idea. I just wonder how many days fasting a month you can actually do. Can you do a couple of 2/3 days a month or try a 5/7 day fast once a month. It will be interesting to see how the numbers/personal data pans out on this one
 
Keep up the good work, Gang of Fasters !! I am going to start back on 16/8ish fasting tonight as I have to try and get the ole liver empty as it still wants to dump way too much if I try fasting for more than 6 hours! So tonight the kitchen closes at 7 p.m. every night and opens again at noon the next day:) Cheers/L
 
OK fearsome fasters.. just did last readings for today after walking the dog and a last coffee at about 7.30pm

BG 4.5
Ketones 1.1

Wonder what the weight will have done by morning...

Last ate at 8.30 p.m. yesterday so a total of 25 3/4 hours fasted so far.. onwards and upwards

Good luck all

Reading with interest! I admire you all, I love my food way too much! I come out in a cold sweat when I’m asked to fast for anything! :wideyed:
 
24 hrs fasting completed. Time for bed. So far so good. More data in the morning heres hoping i dont spike during the night. It hasnt happened yet so far in this adventure. Nite folks!
 
Morning all. Checking in with my stats. Started fast after dinner (6pm) last night.

FBG 4.4 (my DP usually manifests in second morning reading, so expecting a rise)
Ketones 1.2
Weight 59.7 kg (my lowest recorded weight, just)
BMI 22.7

Have a horrendously busy day at work today (hopefully will assist with fasting) but will check in when I can.

And thanks @lindijanice - very sweet of you.

Edited to correct typo.
