Fasting Window: Monday 22 November 20:30 - Monday 29th of November 20-30
Day 1
Piece of Pie!
Had some broth, a ton of water and bulletproof coffee (only one a day). discovered the joy of MCT oil. Did some light stretching and Natmoves in the evening and was walking the dog.
Day 2
Easy, I hardly noticed that I'm fasting
Same regime: Broth, water, bulletproof coffee and black tea
Discovered the uncomfortable situation when you overdo it with MCT oil. Did some light stretching in the evening, and kept walking the dog.
Day 3
Easy, kept myself busy, I enjoyed cooking for my Rat, and dog.
Very focused, feeling very positive.
Day 4
Not bad at all - kept busy, drinking tea, broth & bulletproof coffee. Felt focussed and clear headed.
Day 5
Woke up with blood pressure of 117/19. Felt tired in the afternoon. Didn't walk the dog. Felt very foggy all day.
Day 6
Felt really tired in the morning, sagging bags under my eyes, looked and felt very depleted (if one can even feel depleted)
Day 7
Jumpin-Jack-Flash! Feeling fine in the morning, very lightheaded in the afternoon as I was so sick of drinking anything I hardly had something to drink. Went shopping and had really bad heart palpitations in the shopping queue.
Lessons learned
Use MCT oil and butter sparingly.
Ghee in Broth is fucking delicious
A few drops of Peach Fruit and barley squash in a 1L bottle of water won't break your ketosis as I've tested. I stayed in deep ketosis.
Conclusion
It was a really great experience. 7 days is a bloody long time. Next time I will omit the bulletproof coffee and just do a broth fast. I've come to the realization that I can fix my colon if need be. The whole reason I did this fast was to prove to myself I can and to see what's going on with my digestive track.
Weight Loss
I lost 5.5kg (0.987stone) in 7 days)
