Day 5 of a planned 5 day fast
Well I did it, I managed to get back to the exact same weight I was 13 days ago :) I dropped from 181 to 178 in one day by not taking my normal high dose of "Hi Lyte Electrolyte Concentrate" https://amzn.to/2sU5G38 and bringing my carbs below 10 carbs a day.
I checked my blood glucose several times during the day and I was in the 70s. After my lunchtime walk I even dropped down to 66. However, I felt lethargic during the day. I will resume using the Hi Lyte Electrolyte Concentrate and just deal with the water retention. The first 3 days of this fast I used it in high doses I have not had any 'uncomfortable adjustments' that usually accompany a fast.
I look way thinner in the mirror. I recently bought "FatTrack GOLD Digital Body Fat Caliper with FREE MyoTape" https://amzn.to/2tMwrHh and it says I have a 24% body fat. I want to have at least a 20% body fat so my new weight goal is 171. If I get there I will decide if I want to go to 15% body fat. If I do then I may set my goal weight lower.
Next week I plan to fast but I plan to eat on Wednesday because it is July 4th and there is a BBQ planned. This weekend I plan to eat, but for the first time I plan to eat LCHF. I'm so over gaining a bunch of weight on my refeeds.
