Ok, so I have successfully
completed 10 days of Water Fasting and I'm now in the 11th day planned on breaking
my fast this evening with bone broth.
I do not feel hungry though, and a
part of me would like to keep going and enjoy this amazing feeling that the
fast is gifting me with. But
everything has to end eventually and since I'm going to Italy in just few days
I might as well start refeeding and be ready when I'll be with my family.
The mental clarity
while I'm fasting is great, I am absolutely astounded every time I do a
sort of longer fast. This is my second
longest Water Fast after my 24 days,
I think I could do another 10 days
without any problem…but, as I said circumstances are against me at the moment.
Today I had for the third day in a row the same weight at 55.6Kg, but my Ketosis has been very high, over 100mg/dL; which is a
value I rarely see in shorter fasts. So I don't mind much the plateau for now, I'm sure I'm losing
inches somewhere and considering the colour of my Ketostix, I still have lots of fat to lose here and there.
I'm happy to report that I'm still having a sort of BMs, I
did few enemas every other day just
to help my detoxing process. I used
to buy the Fleet enemas at the Drug Store but they're too expensive so I'm recycling
it and reusing it after a deep deep cleaning! I know it sounds gross but $10 every other day is not affordable
for me at the moment.
I believe that my weight plateau
might be also due to the fact that I've been home in the past 3 days and not moving much around,
since my condo apartment is very tiny;
is not that I'm thinking of doing strenuous
exercise or anything but walking at
least one hour per day is definitely beneficial for my weight loss.
After I end this Water
Fast I want to try to reduce as much as I can the carbs, in particular the
fruits. I noticed that I tend to binge
on bananas especially if I eat them with the peanut butter powder. Delicious combination by all means, but it
makes me gain weight back in 2 days,
which is not ideal for me. I also want to try stick on a 2 meal daily plan, basically IF,
trying to eat first at 11:30 in the
morning and then dinner around 5:30pm.
Hopefully I can do it in Italy too, we usually eat late in the evening there,
so it might be tough for me smelling
all the amazing food my mother cooks without feeling hungry. But I'm planning on having big meals, mostly green leafs and fats like nuts and seeds. Wish me luck!
