The fast continues. I am fat fasting – one tablespoon of MCT oil taken with my morning and evening drugs. I’ve also been adding apple cider vinegar to water before bed and right after waking. I added psyllium husk yesterday; it’s flavored, and has a tiny bit of sugar, so I may need to get another brand. Adding ACV, orange flavored fiber, and a bit of fat to the water makes for a surprisingly tasty drink.
I slept deeply but awoke several times, and my dream were odd and vivid. I felt creaky on waking, but I again woke before the alarm, and after showering felt pretty good. Still some swelling and spongy skin in the lower legs, but it’s much reduced from last week.
The scale had me down 20 pounds from Friday. Inflammation is down; walking is easier. I did more walking than usual yesterday with cubicle decluttering and moving. Not having a fridge at my desk anymore may be a blessing – I’ll have to walk more for my water and any other perishable food I bring.
It’s a bit odd to consider that not eating for days at a time does more to make me feel normal and healthy, with more of my brain at my disposal, than does eating. But, as a caloric millionaire, it feels good to spend the wealth rather than hoard it.
Tomorrow morning is my first group session with IDM. I’m very curious.
