[QUOTE="AllieRainbow, post: 1802045, member: 473025"] I am posting with my macros early today as I am up North all day visiting my parents. I have prepared a meal to take with me to break my fast once the blood sugar is in the 5s, or at around 24 hours, whichever works out with my schedule. Although I planned in pork chops, I have gone with roast turkey and bacon as it was quicker to sort out this morning. I got into the 5s much earlier today, so I decided to break the fast early in order to bring my meal time to recently afternoon, as I deal with carbs much better in the late morning/early afternoon. [B]Day 3[/B] - Weight: [B]116.8 kilos[/B] / BMI[B] 38.0[/B] / Waist to Height Ratio: [B]69%[/B] 7.51am - FBG:[B] 6.0[/B] 9.29am - DP: [B]7.1[/B] 12.52pm - In the 5s: [B]5.8[/B] 1.10pm - Pre-meal: [B]5.8[/B] 2.56pm - Post-meal (2 hrs): [B]6.6[/B] 4.44pm - Post-meal (3.5 hrs): [B]6.7[/B] 11.16pm - Bedtime: [B]5.7[/B] Meal: Turkey and bacon salad with caesar dressing, with olives, almonds and macadamias, and 2 Babybel cheeses. 2 x coffee with small amount of coconut cream. All other fluids water. I am adding a couple of twist from my himalayan pink salt shaker to meals to increase my salt intake (added in response to [USER=410240]@ringi[/USER] 's very useful comment on Day 11). Carbs: [B]18.8g[/B] Protein: [B]100.4g[/B] Fat: [B]94.3g[/B] Cals: [B]1327[/B] Length of Fast: [B]18hrs 48mins[/B] Average BG Before Fast: [B]7.0[/B] Today's Average BG Reading: [B]6.2[/B] Interestingly the estimated HbA1c on the mySugr app has come down by 0.2 points every day so far: [B]41.9[/B] - Day 1 (baseline) [B]41.7[/B] - Day 2 [B]41.5[/B] - Day 3 It will be interesting to see if this continues. I have also noticed that there is a rise every morning around an hour or two after waking and taking the fasting blood glucose reading. I am going to try eating either a small piece of cheese, probably a mature cheddar for the higher fat content, or an egg scrambled in butter, to see if this affects the rise at this time of day. I am also working on bringing the meal time forward a little every day until I get to around 11am for the meal time, unless of course I don't get into the 5s until later in the day. I deal with carbs a lot better at this time of day and there is also a lot of time for exercise to help bring down the readings after this too. So far I feel like I am getting good results and that this will be sustainable over at least a few weeks. [/QUOTE]
