Day 3 of 3 days of planned eating
After my low carb lunch, I went for a run yesterday and weighed myself after the run. I was 177. I then ate dinner, two beef patties and turnip fries (they were great!). The problem I feel was the ketchup... I had a LOT of it. After the salty carb filled ketchup I drank a LOT of water. I woke up to a 94 blood reading (my normal fasting reading is in the high 70s) and 3 pounds of 'water' weight.
Basically I did not keep my carbs for the day <20 as I had planned.
Also, I have noticed, no matter what I do, my body will simply switch into a mode, probably because it has some cellular repair or resting to do, or whatever. It will retain, or expel water, ect. I have 'influence' over my body, but I do not have 'control'. I simply have to 'stay the course' and be 'patient'.
The fast re-starts tomorrow :)

I have read that when the body is low on fuel it will retain water, same when you work out the muscles can retain water. I imagine the internal process's are over my head.
Yes ketchup is a higher carb choice. I avoid it, but then I have not tried those fries yet, they sound awesome, franks hot sauce is carb free! It is a wing sauce we use.

@baskington - That makes sense to me.

Really nice work, brother. I don't think I have ever been as disciplined with a refeed as you are now. On the first attempt, too. Leading the way to successful fasting again. Let's go! #stillgrindtime #stayhungry #inspiringAF #justdonteat

PS - Really terrific to hear that you and your wife are working together on this health journey. That's exactly as it should be, and regrettably rare.

You are going to get better with every refeed! I’m glad you liked the fries :D next time pick up some no sugar added ketchup. It’s really good! And only has 1 carb instead of 4

@CrashtestDawnie - We don't have Publix but my wife will look at one of our insanely large grocery stores, or I can get it on Amazon (found it, but I have to buy like 6 of them at a time).
