Day two of fast 800 yesterday. Doing low carb/IF too. 7.4 at bedtime, 5.7 this morning- lowest am reading so far!

I’m so hungry I could eat my own arm!

10.1 first thing then 10.3 2hrs after breakfast 30 carbs ( did some exercise after food ) so although the numbers are far from good the rise isn't bad ...if you know what I mean .

Hi Everyone
This is my first time on this chat. Used to live in London, but retired to the Caribbean. I did my BS (not right away when I got up) and it was 9.1. It was 11.0 a couple days ago. Tomorrow I'll get it done as I get up. Hopefully I'm heading in the right direction.

Welcome @Geetasingh. Heading in the right direction? Retiring to the Carribbean suggests you certainly are.

Ooh, no, don’t eat the arm. Try some other sort of protein instead if you are hungry. Though be encouraged by your lowest am reading. I find that so uplifting when the fasting levels are tamed.
Had 5.8 myself today. On a good run of 5s at the moment. Which is stopping me from indulging in the wrong choices.

7.0 today... not the worst ... not the best.

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

Good morning
Libre 6/6.2
Finetest lite 5.7
Had usual lunches this week but had to have a snack just to be legal to drive home every day
Swim this morning before work

I mean I’m vegan so does eating my own arm count as meat? well done on your numbers!yeah I’m feeling good about the decreased numbers too. My bm was 5 this morning! So like you it’s helping me stay on the wagon so to speak. I nearly caved last night as there was a packet of mixed nuts and a box of raspberries calling my name…but I went to bed instead. Yesterday was the second day I did not go into double figures (I peak at lunchtime despite not eating until after 1pm) so although the fast 800 keto is a struggle I am seeing a good run of numbers and losing a bit of weight too- long may it continue for all of us!

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 7.2 so not the worst, best of the week if I want to be optimistic, but want to get back in the 6s. Fish Finger Firsday probs wont help but its got to be done.
Best wishes everyone, carry on carrying on. Congrats to the magnificent 5s.

John, you will be absolutely fine. You won't feel a thing. I've had both of mine done and didn't feel anything. You won't believe the difference!
