My blood sugars have been high on this fast, possibly because of last Friday’s trip to the vending machine. My Saturday eating pre-fast was high in protein but low in carbs, but I was still gaining the next day before the scale started moving south again. I’ve heard it can take 3-7 days, depending on insulin resistance, to recover from even one carb-heavy meal. Seems to fit.
I dipped down to 449.8 this morning, the first time in a few months I’ve been under 450. My previous fasting low, 440.2, was back on October 24th.
I have a work dinner tomorrow so I’ll be breaking at the end of four full days, if I don’t end today. I would like to extend another day to get a little more time below 450.
Have felt really good today – the least inflammation in recent memory, walking around work without heavy breathing, slept okay, few muscle aches. It’s a nice feeling. I think I got so used to a stuffy nose and a wet cough that it’s odd when they’re missing. I’m not complaining.
