Starting Day 2 of my Fat Fast, will try 3 days this week, maybe another 3 days next week after getting in some protein. Yesterday went better than I had expected, no real hunger to speak of and felt great during the day. Have to admit I got a little cranky making dinner, not because I was hungry or craving what I was cooking, just felt a little flustered I guess, but it passed quickly and all was good with the world again! LOL
In one day ketone levels went from small to moderate, hoping to get into the large range by Sun. This is definitely a plan that needs to be tweaked according to our own diet history, and state of metabolic resistance, not the fast but the plan itself. I was taking in way to much protein and not enough healthy fats. Will add things like coconut oil, avocado, and more butter to the things I cook to bring my levels up. I did not do the fast because I was not losing, I did it to get my body into a better(higher level) of ketosis. Doing the fast I am eating 5 times per day and that may be something I will try to stick with after the end of the fast, so much better for the metabolism. Well time to go eat meal #2 for the day. Stay strong warriors! LOL
