New Year's Fasting Resolution

With the 2019 approaching soon, I decided to have a New Year’s resolution starting a new prolonged Fast - mostly to shed some of my dreaded extra pounds and also to kick in autophagy to help my body get rid of some unhealthy cells – possibly.  

This time around I don’t want to poison myself with tons of decaf coffee cups and creamer; I’m working on quitting coffee for now. I want to start this Fast with only water - and maybe salt here and there to maintain good levels of electrolytes, since I’m aiming for a long Fast.

This morning I bought on amazon a Body Fat scale, so I can track also my BMI and body Fat % during the Fast. I’m planning on taking various types of measurements before, during and after my Water Fast.

Here’s a list of tests I would like to have done in this new fast journey, divided by timelines.

BEFORE the Fast

• Blood Pressure
• Glucose Level
• Body Weight
• BMI
• Body FAT %
• Blood Work
• Body measurements

DURING the Fast

• Body Weight
• BMI
• Body Fat %
• Ketones
   
  Every 10 days / 2 weeks

• Blood Pressure
• Glucose Level

AFTER the Fast

• Blood Pressure
• Glucose Level
• Body Weight
• BMI
• Body FAT %
• Blood Work
• Body measurements

I will look around if I can find a different type of Ketostix, where I can also check ph levels and protein in the urine – I believe they’re called dipstick – but I would know better once asked in a pharmacy.

Wish me luck! I haven’t fasted on Water-Only since a while; I hope I will find the strengths this time around.
