Fasting Duration: 88 hours (3 1/2 days)
Weight: 300.7
Blood Sugar 63
So I'm past that 3 day point where i had really bad low blood sugar symptoms the last time I attempted an extended fast. Ditching the metformin maybe made a difference? Or maybe my body is just adjusted to the lower blood sugars from ADF so its not giving me all the warning signs.
Days 4 and 5 were very very difficult on my only fast that went this long, the 5 day one in mid august. So far today I'm feeling good. I did have another cup of tea with sweetener and coconut oil in it yesterday, again less than 100 calories in. Its possible that messes with autophagy, but the insulin/IR stuff and obvious weight loss should roll on just fine. I'm pleased so far.
Tomorrow I'll be under 300 pounds, but based on my experiences so far I expect to re-gain a bunch of this once I end my fast, so I won't be "safely" under 300 for a bit. I'm still looking forward to it though.
