Another new one – aiming for at least a week

The fast on the 16th didn’t last long; I ended it after 24 hours. Final weight dipped under 450, but I made some carby choices and quickly bumped back to 455.

I had some parmesan crisps right at midnight, so I’m about 14 hours in to a new one. Still feeling full from yesterday. I see my doctor next Wednesday, so as long as I don’t get the must-stop signals from my body (nausea, faintness) I can get in a full week plus a few hours when I see her. I’ll do bloodwork next week, perhaps after the appointment with her, but I’d like to see this fast go two weeks. I want to get the paperwork ready for the IDM program in case she’s willing to work with me.

My wife confirmed that the blood in the toilet the other day was indeed another Surprise Boil – I didn’t know it was there until it was gone. It’s disconcerting in a way, but in another it’s kinda cool. The body says tells something nasty to GTFO, and makes its own exit. It hasn’t hurt either time, and in fact it’s been nice and Toilet Trained tidy. it’s just a bit scary to see blood and pus show up when you’re not expecting it.

My fasting has been sporadic and my feasting has included a lot of sugars and carbs – not daily, but often – but, the benefits have been there. My body continues to change shape.  The man boobs are flattening out. the rolls in the back are diminishing. The upper legs aren’t as crepey.  I’m calling it the benefits of autophagy and infusions of growth hormone. My gray hair hasn’t darkened yet, but I’m curious if it might. I’ve seen others who have lost a ton of weight look years younger, and the fasting approach is supposed to maximize that.

So…back to a new push. Knowing I’ve fasted as long as the time remaining between now and the doctor appointment makes it easier to consider going for it.

I ordered Dr. Fung’s new book, which arrived yesterday. I’ll review it shortly.
